How bad is your neighborhood that you have to label cable spools to prevent material theft???
Thieves don’t care if it’s a nice neighborhood. It happens on building sites everywhere. They don’t mind driving a long way.
But how much copper they gotta steal to pay for driving out to it? I need to check the price of copper.
If they were good at math, they wouldn’t be thieves.
What??? You realize very smart people become criminals. The crime world is basically the same as the mainstream. And all of it intertwines anyway, street crime and mainstream unethical things.
The same drive someone puts into a PhD can be put into being criminal. Fact is successful criminals don’t get caught. Some of them even become presidents, military personnel, cops, and politicians…
Start with crime, build money and get then ease into legal life. Shitty pop rappers for example. …a sloppy example of people that don’t do it well.
It’s a really common thing in construction yards.
True. Construction sites helped me build lots of bike and skateboard ramps in the 80s.
Did you know they also used to leave keys in the heavy equipment?
yup! now everything is operated by, well, me, because i have all the keys
used to
Hah r-right
Even when it’s fully installed, people will try to steal the copper cables. In the power industry it’s a real problem with people removing the earthing, not always noticeable right away, but then it’s not safe to work on anymore.
File this under frequently found dead. Substations get hit like this and then the guy dies walking away
