Not the Brightest Bulb in the Socket

LONDON (Reuters) - Police in central England are hunting for a badly scorched would-be copper power cable thief after finding a hacksaw embedded in an 11,000 volt power cable Saturday night.
The thief, who also left a lit blow torch at the scene, is expected to be badly charred, spiky haired and not exactly the brightest bulb in the socket.
"The sheer stupidity of cutting through power cables should be glaringly obvious to everyone," said Phil Wilson, customer operations manager with local power company Central Networks.

Did they look about 80 behind where he would've been standing at the time he snipped the cable?

My guess is that he'll actually make it onto the DA site as an "honorable mention." This special category was created to recognize those who put in the effort but just didn't quite have what it took to remove themselves from our gene pool.

They probably thought about it, but could not decide on which 80, inches or feet.

What really gets me is the lengths to which these copper thieves will go what with the price of copper as high as it is worldwide right now. They are stealing it to recycle it which only increases the tonnage they need to get any kind of worthwhile cash value out of it for themselves at all!

Copper thieves tore up irrigation systems in fields here in California to steal pumps and pipes. Probably got $100(if that) in recycle for the wires out of a pump that costs $1000/each.

In London and China they have stolen railroad tracks.
