"Police think Reynolds was there trying to steal copper wiring from a transformer bank that Indianapolis Power and Light said carries 24,000 volts."
I suppose one could quibble about no mention of AMPs, buuut I'm thinking "transformer bank" pretty much sums up what one needs to know here.

One would naturally think that these scrap thieves would have to provide at least some proof of where they got the stuff to be able to sell it. Like a pawn shop for example.
I guess not...

Put up a sign saying silver ingots are here or copper wiring?
I have been following copper thefts for the last couple of years now, its astounding to what extent these people will go, copper is the poor mans gold nowadays.
Copper, not gold or silver will kill more people in America in the future. Apparently we should be mining more copper, recycling more copper than normal, copper is in more demand than almost any other metal lately.
