Note to self: when stealing copper wire, first make sure it is not live. Judges do not award extra points for stupidity.

The authorities identified him by his hand which was blown off his body. His fingerprints were already on file.

This thief conducted himself poorly.

He earned the Bad Conduct Metal.

Well, if the cable was thick enough and burned into his hand, put him down in front and let him conduct for the orchestra.
