I bet the guy was hooking up the first 12 footer and then he was going to pilfer some more wire.I'll bet he eyed those LARGE-ish posts (insulators with *live* contacts on the ends) sticking out of the pole xfmr and thought to himself: "All I need to do is hook up a pair of jumper cables to those two posts and I'll have power tonight ... and I'll take 'em off in the morning and no one will be any wiser!"

Well they did say they found the wires hanging on the ladder and running into the house. No mention of a long trail of char. He very well may have polarized himself on the transformer. The primaries certainly would have given him a bigger hum than an output. May he rest in peace, God bless him he gave a lot of folks a good laugh.
