I agree it is a theft problem - but if stealing copper (or anything else) paid less than the jobs available to a major portion of the population. Whens the last time you saw a headline reading: "PHD in physics explodes in white hot ball of plasma while stealing copper to sell as scrap." ??? I'm not going to speculate on this persons education level - but if you have 9 kids, you're either rich enough or dumb enough... One is a Rockefeller the other is Cletus (from the Simpsons) IMO. We're the one of the richest nations on earth right now - but have people out there doing things common in 3rd & 4th world countries. Something is wrong....
