Copper Wire Stolen From San Jose Police Activities League Field
CBS San Francisco ^ | June 3, 2015

Police in San Jose are finding themselves the victims of a crime, after someone stole copper wire at the Police Activities League’s baseball field.

According to authorities, wire was taken from one of the light stands. Police said the fix is going to be expensive and take a while.

“There’s two different light towers, and since one of the light towers isn’t working, there’s the possibility that we might have to cancel some games in the future,” Sgt. Jim Ureta of the San Jose Police Department told KPIX 5.

Police estimate it would cost $25,000 to get the lights working again.

Two big tournaments are scheduled to be played on the field in July.

This sort of “crime” is often just a quaint custom from across the border. San Jose is being culturally insensitive.

Finally! An upside to owning a house with aluminum wiring.

When Obammys third-world, Mad Max un-society rules, they won't get any copper from me!

Thieves took the copper out of the subway the other day. It took some people hours longer to get home.

In my erstwhile days I was an electrician. Whenever I came on a house call that had aluminum wire, I never touched any of it. Wouldn’t work with it.

A good example for NEVER having aluminum siding put on your house or garage. If there is any value to anything you own, some bastard will try to steal it.
