Just a heads up guys, had 50m of 3inch armoured copper cable stolen last night. It was live and the electrician recons they used an axe to hack through the cable which stops them getting a shock?

 

Be vigilant, theres so much theft going on at the moment. Now for many sleepless nights and a well earned cold pint of cider!

They have been nicking out of the scrap yards across the road from me FFS. tens of thousands of pounds worth over a few visits. Security fencing has been going missing everywhere too!

Not surprising, theft of and metal is still up however since the cops turned the charges into Felony's many of the thief's are in the pokie where they belong. Although new housing is way down about 4 years ago it was not uncommon for entire new homes to be stripped of all wire with a long rope attached to the pig tail leading out to the main service. Within in a matter of seconds 50 to 80 K $$$ lost, builder/bank left holding the repair job. More than the wire came out and down the road they all went.
