Funny thing about this is the insulators on the poles are worth more to collectors than the wire to scrap dealers.

I always cringe when I go through redneck country and see $100 insulators shot up on poles...

Funny thing is nobody bit¢hes when pole-cats take the insulators from old unused lines. Copper must be political-like, or something.

Ever wonder how ancient civilzations vanished with few traces, save for the stone work? Wonder no more.

"A report that "three suspicious males were cutting cables off power poles" sent West Hempfield Township police to Chickies Rock County Park near Route 441 on Tuesday morning."

So the moral of the story is, don't act suspicious when you climb poles to steal copper cables. Just act normal and no one will notice.


They don't take em'. They're all shot up, according to Dean.

Maybe it's time for the companies that own these precious lines to get off their asses and remove their eyesores. Otherwise, I have no problem if teenage entrepreneurs do the job for them.
