I just wonder what an engineer would say about the choke they made with that metal sleeve. Greg what choke? It is a U channel not a raceway. the steel does not wrap the ground conductor and does not create a choke. No current or counter EMF is formed until the channel becomes a tube.

The "bars" in that billboard appear to be copper pipe/tubing, not wire...

How could any one feel sympathy for a thief.
Nuff said. (sorry just went off the title)

Theft of copper pipe is a big problem, too, FYI!

If they were real bars, they'd have been stolen.
