Darwin you are slipping old boy

This idiot uses a hacksaw to nick 250m of LIVE electrical cable and not only survives but escapes with the loot? Think someone is spending too much time on the Turkey farm   

A thief who stole 250m (820ft) of industrial electrical cable is being sought by police in Northamptonshire.
Police believe the person who cut the cable, carrying 11,000 volts, would have been seriously burned and are urging them to seek medical care.

The live cable belonging to electricity distribution firm Central Networks, was stolen from Blisworth early on Monday.

A charred hacksaw and foliage were found at the scene. Police urged anyone with information to contact them.

Officers also want to speak to anyone who has been offered any industrial electricity cable for sale in recent days.

That is a hobby much favoured in South Africa.  -  and eastern Europe too     It can only get worse...

Presumably they wear rubber boots and gloves.

Presumably they wear rubber boots and gloves.

The favourite tool is a plastic handled wood saw with many layers of Tesco bags over the handle (allegedly, from my chum with the electricity board)
