Crackheads are a very industrious group and can accomplish anything they put their minds to that will get them more crack. If you dangle a few rocks in front of them and tell them to build a bridge, you will get a nice rickety death trap of a bridge, but it well be a bridge

Some dude around here (probably a meth-head) broke in to an unmanned power substation trying to steal copper a couple years ago. I don't know if he died but he definitely got life-flighted out.

how did he NOT end up as a Darwin-Award candidate (or at least a runner up/honorable mention if he didn't die)?

I think it happens often enough they would have trouble differentiating between incidents.

Same here. A local mill had shut down, so idiot decides the power must be off, and it would be a great time to steal the copper from the mills substation. He didnt need a lifeflight, he was dead a couple of days when they found him.

I had that situation a few years ago (The squatters were dealing drugs right in front of the house!) and I set up a HUGE camcorder right in the window aimed at the house between the window and drapes. I conveniently left a light on right behind it. Problem solved.

So the neighbor was collecting rent on a foreclosed house next to him that he didn't own. Classic...

yes 101, that is the scam.
The dispatcher told me someone would come but the wife said nobody came all day. The truck is there this morning.
