In my area, catalytic converter theft is a big problem; they sell them for the rhodium and other metals.

Why aren’t thieves targeting gasoline pump hoses?

Copper thieves will destroy thousands of dollars worth of something to get their $20 or $50, not to mention how it inconveniences the people who need that station and the income lost by the owner.
Sentencing needs to take that into consideration.

At some point we are going to have to declare open season on thieves; no daily or possession limit.

The thieves are like an Indy 500 Pit crew - in So Cal they pull up to a Hotel Parking Lot - one guy disconnects the charger - another guy takes the Sawz-All to the cables - they are done and out of there in seconds.

Thieves need to be safe about the fires of these vehicles. The fire might create a million dollar lawsuit against the manufacturers. Battery fires will be crazy common from Florida to Virginia over the next few months. No way to put them out. The issues with this will kill the EV market irregardless of politics.

Go after the scrap dealers who buy obviously stolen EV charger lines. To buy drugs I figure.

This is going on for quite a while.
Main reason why most charging stations do not work.

The department of energy is enforcing energy equity by requiring scrap dealers to give $20 to anyone bringing in a gasoline hose and nozzle. < /s, but I fear I’m giving them ideas>
