Italian Job Style Copper Heist

holy shit…::scopes local areas for power line::::takes gutters off house while rents arent home:::

On a recent jobsite i was on…we use copper flashings and counterflashings…we were going to reuse them until the crew broke for lunch came back and EVERYTHING copper was gone…but they left the 1,000s of dollars of tools around. Tdown

fuck rollin pennies and takein em to the bank, im takin mine to the scrapyard :stuck_out_tongue:

Close… I have a 3" section of 750 MCM which is heavy industrial power line, it can carry 10,000Amps at 600Volts i believe, it weighs just under a pound… I hold it in my fist, it is a lot worse than hitting someone with a roll of quarters

Good luck. Pennies have been made of steel with a zinc coating since World War 2.

As for the theft of power lines, I’ve read atleast 4 other accounts of it happening, two of which resulted in one of the thieves being elecrocuted :bloated:

Chalk up one more win for Darwin. :tup:
