Silly me—I thought they were taking them to help stock the laboratory of advanced science experiments while they worked on their Physics PHDs!

It's called, equity sharing, or wealth sharing. Might as well have put a few pounds of gold out there in the open.
The EV charge station makers, and electric vehicle makers, are going to have to makes deals with the thieves, and promise them cash payments for every EV charge station left unharmed.

In my condo building a few years ago they broke into the garage and sawed copper water pipes off the ceiling that had water pressure.
Just stealing the copper Americans won't steal.

It's good to know that Oakland's programs to provide income to people in "need", the "homeless", people of "color" and "clean" energy are so "successful".

The majority of these crimes are “disorganized” druggies—they would take the bribe and steal the stuff anyway.

This is tragedy! For EV owners in Oakland, California. If there are any in that god forsaken town.
For EV owners just passing through, and needing a jolt. Go to Berkley for your charging.

Good point, although the elites in Finland are trying hard
to import some Oakland from Mother Africa, just to catch up with the USA.
The question isn't "why would someone do that?"
The question is, what kind of idiot would install publicly accessible charging stations in a place like Oakland?

The answer is there is no legitimate reason why this happens.
The answer is the youth gangs another assorted criminal types do things like this. Sometimes they can make money dealing in stolen merchandise, and sometimes they do vandalism just for the hell of it. These types of people do not do productive things in their lives, so instead they do destructive things.
Their thought process is beyond the frame of reference of many of us . There is no legitimate reason to do these things that they do.
