      Thieves don’t care if it’s a nice neighborhood. It happens on building sites everywhere. They don’t mind driving a long way.

          If they were good at math, they wouldn’t be thieves.

            What??? You realize very smart people become criminals. The crime world is basically the same as the mainstream. And all of it intertwines anyway, street crime and mainstream unethical things.

            The same drive someone puts into a PhD can be put into being criminal. Fact is successful criminals don’t get caught. Some of them even become presidents, military personnel, cops, and politicians…

            Start with crime, build money and get then ease into legal life. Shitty pop rappers for example. …a sloppy example of people that don’t do it well.

              That’s true, but aren’t financial crimes or organized crimes are where the smarter people are? Stealing raw materials to sell at shady recyclers is low bar moron crime.

      At one of my prior jobs (Chicos FAS,Ft Myers, FL) a maintenance guy got fired when they caught him stealing cables for copper about 10 years ago.

      Even when it’s fully installed, people will try to steal the copper cables. In the power industry it’s a real problem with people removing the earthing, not always noticeable right away, but then it’s not safe to work on anymore.

        True. Construction sites helped me build lots of bike and skateboard ramps in the 80s.

        Did you know they also used to leave keys in the heavy equipment?

            You can buy a set of keys on Amazon that will run almost any piece of equipment found on a construction site for like $15.

      Here in Germany, they’re literally stealing the overhead lines off of the train tracks.
