Apparent copper thief gets severe shock<<<

The man was engulfed in flames, 100% of his body was burned.

Must have been admitted to the hospital's BICu.

You are right, of course. I'm praying for this guy to somehow receive Christ as his Savior before he passes on, but I am also praying for his family.

What a miserable, horrific way to die.

This has been going on all over Houston. Not a day goes buy you don't hear about about copper thieves.

I agree. I was hit a couple of months back while I was away one Friday. The thief (same one??) came back late on another Friday afternoon and s/he quickly discovered what a .357 mag HP sounds like fairly close up. The thief got away this time after cutting a padlock on the panel box but I haven't had any more problems since. Not a peep.

It wouldn't bother me any in the least if more of these thieves were electrocuted on the spot. At least justice would be done.

Yes it is a terrible way to die...I am praying for his family also. Maybe it will alert some of these copper thieves to stop....that the risk of dying so horribly isn’t worth the risks. However I doubt it sadly.

A College friend of mine lived in a very nice area of NYC.(Forest Hills Gardens). All the houses went up in the late teens/early 20s, and many still had copper gutters & leaders. One day, a “Roofing Company” truck pulled up in front of his neighbor’s place, while they were at work. The crew pulled down all the old copper, and carted it away, never to return...

I’m waiting to see pics of a layout with buildings and cars that feature plenty of graffiti on them.
