OH..
this piqued my interest because I was trying to figure out how he died stealing jumper cables - figured the owner shot him.
Or, at the least he was trying to steal Comcast Cable.
Oh well, pays to read the article or at least the comments.
The real idiots are going to be the 10 or so that will say he didn’t do it the right way and attempt it themselves.
Hopefully with the same results.
Some people take longer for something to catch on.

Okay, I’ll say it:
He should have taken the incoming voltage to ground, short-circuiting the input to the transformer. Only takes a ground-post and some twisted wire tossed across the input wires.
Alternately, he could have just opened the breaker that serves the transformer, most have switches on the cabinet to open the breaker.
