Bama 54 said it right.
The power company is not the only company that hooks to those wires,
and people probably started immediately having trouble with their phones
also, and then there was man hours tracking down the troubles before
things like this get reported. Even Cable TV hooks up to those wires.
Some people have to learn over and over, and then there are those
who never learn.

Very Sad indeed, but I am for him paying back all the money involved,
rather than be just incarcerated. Time this career criminal learns to
work and pay his debts. I would buy a mower and mow lawns before
I did this, or I would have a car wash, etc, etc, etc. It is time the
criminals learn to think of something else instead of robbery.

If we need roads bring back chain gangs.

Somewhat entrepreneurial spirit, but illegal and non-productive. Thou shalt not steal copper.

Well guess who gets to pay for the replacement of the grounds on the power poles? The Gulf Power customers. This dumb act will cost you in more ways than you realize. When Gulf Pwr replaces the copper on the poles they normally replace the ground rods, the contractor doing the work calls in a locate ticket, and all the utilities companies respond to locate their cables, gas lines, and water lines…etc. This cost is passed down to the customer (home/cell phone, water, gas, sewer). Plus, they will put him in jail and we then have to feed him. Hope you get the overall picture!!

If he was wearing an ankle monitor then it shouldn’t be to hard to place him at the seen of the other copper thefts.

And that helped in so many ways because the end result was the same. No pay-jail. Steal-jail! Another fine example of you can’t fix stupid
