You Surely Don't Think They Care, Do You?

'Notwithstanding the dangers to which the thieves expose themselves, they are also potentially subjecting police officers and other members of the emergency services or general public to similar risks when we respond to the crimes.'
Yeah, that'll stop 'em.

Cretin.

    "He suffered extensive burns to his arms and head which were initially described as absolutely hilarious looking, with his hair all standing on end and smoke coming out of his ears..."

    Another Newton Aycliffe fail! Down in Redcar, three of them were killed when they tried it.

    And another fellow was seriously injured when caught stealing signal cable at the level crossing. He tripped over and hit his head on a platelayer's hammer. Twice.

    Nothing to see here.

    It's just evolution in action.

    Move along, now, move along.

    I must admit I did laugh long and loud when I heard it on the radio news bulletin.

    Probably would have done same if I'd been the paramedic called out to put him out.

    Pity he was on his own and his mates weren't on hand to film it for youtube.

    Reminds me of my high school Science master. One of his favourite sayings was: The only time you'll be bright is when you're cremated.

    Death before Dishonesty eh?

    In the old days, Vicars used to preach that criminals who fell off the church roof while trying to nick the lead, had been subject to Divine retribution!

    In short, copper is out there for the taking with little resistance to current thieves.

    You have to wonder why on earth these bright sparks could not make a living conducting themselves honestly.

    "The thief looks like another Darwin Award hopeful."

    Sadly, merely a runner up...

    "...absolutely hilarious looking..."

    :D

    "Shame it wasn't raining."

    Odd to find a Newton Aycliffe day when it isn't...

    "You have to wonder why on earth these bright sparks could not make a living conducting themselves honestly."

    *chuckle*

    Watt a carry on, but you've got to feel sorry for them - they haven't got a Ohm to go to....
