 | Stupid German Thief October 08, 2007 12:28pm in offbeat |
| No one ever said criminals had to be smart, and this guy takes the cake. Apparently copper is worth something so this guy was going around and stealing copper wire. I think every person in their right mind knows that if you're gonna monkey around with electrical wiring, you should first cut the power to avoid electrocuting yourself. Simple thing to do, just flip a switch. Not this guy. He apparently figured that it can't hurt him. So much for that...he's now a crisp, deep-fried corpse. (gross I know). He decided to go after a live copper wire and got a nice 10,000 volt electric shock burning him beyond recognition. Makes catching the thief a bit easier I suppose.
