33 kV? Unidentifiable? If the guy survives, he'll probably wish he didn't. Not a joking matter.

That's happened a few times around here, I remember not too long ago a guy was killed by trying to steal an electrified 3rd rail.

It says he hasn't yet been 'charged' with a crime.

A year ago, in Baltimore, we had a rash of street light poles stolen--the 40foot ( or so) long ones.

Definitely a Darwin nominee.
As Darwin's Corollary to Murphy's Law states, "You can't fix stupid". Or as Bill Engval put it, "Here's your sign" - in this case self-illuminating. ![]()

I clicked on the link expecting to read about a German thief. A nationality well know for enjoying a beer. Then I saw Worcester County, Salisbury and Snow hill district court and thought, what are German cops doing investigating a robbery in England. Eventually I looked at the banner at the top of the page and realised it all happened in the USA. ![]()
