ARTICLE SNIPPET: "A Sumter man was severely burned late Sunday night after he reportedly climbed an electrical pole to try and steal copper wire"
ARTICLE SNIPPET #2: "Theft of copper wire and aluminum is on the rise, authorities said, because it can be sold at high market prices. The increase, officials have said, is fueled in part by a building boom in China that has pushed the demand for copper and aluminum to historic highs."

Your "Radio Rumor" post surely is a Darwin Award contender, too.
