This is why large parts of Africa do not have electricity, people keep stealing the wires to sell for scrap.
Welcome to America, the newest 3rd world country. Thank You 0bama.

I am surprised that that steel is worth the risk. Usually they get the copper from outdoor HVAC.

Regarding Africa:
I have a friend who was in Africa to install electrical power to rural areas under a $400 million grant of your US tax dollars. The Africans would steal the wire as fast as they could install it. It was hopeless and he came home.
