Pocket money...People steal copper it all the time, I have heard 2 darwin award stories of people stealing copper bus bars and copper wires from power utilities.

#1 An Ontario (in Canada) man was increasing his courage level with some alcohol one night and decided to enter a substation to steal some copper bus bars that were in a stack.

Result: Crispy stinky black ball of soot laying at the base of a substation transformer, seems he was slow roasted all night long.

#2 A russian man climbed a utility pole to steal a copper transmission wire ( I dont know why they used copper thats just what it was ).

Result; Crispy stinky humanoid soot blob attached to power pole and ladder.

They steel it because their friends publically advertise their desire to buy it:
