minus-squarebstix@feddit.dklinkfedilinkarrow-up95·3 天前Thieves don’t care if it’s a nice neighborhood. It happens on building sites everywhere. They don’t mind driving a long way.
minus-squaresilasmariner@programming.devlinkfedilinkarrow-up4·3 天前But how much copper they gotta steal to pay for driving out to it? I need to check the price of copper.

minus-squareSadbutdru@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up37·3 天前Even when it’s fully installed, people will try to steal the copper cables. In the power industry it’s a real problem with people removing the earthing, not always noticeable right away, but then it’s not safe to work on anymore.

minus-squareRaivoKulli@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up22·3 天前It’s a really common thing in construction yards.
minus-squarehighlow@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up8·3 天前True. Construction sites helped me build lots of bike and skateboard ramps in the 80s. Did you know they also used to leave keys in the heavy equipment?
minus-squareLousyCornMuffins@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·3 天前yup! now everything is operated by, well, me, because i have all the keys
minus-squareMacallan@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·3 天前You can buy a set of keys on Amazon that will run almost any piece of equipment found on a construction site for like $15. https://www.amazon.com/Equipment-Construction-Caterpillar-AT195302-Takeuchi/dp/B0F7LG3FTV
