Sounds like the guy that climbed the wall on a transformer station. Power flickered enough to trigger an investigation. They sent a truck to find a burned guy with only a belt left as clothing. He died a few days later...

People are actually starting to steal reels of fiber now. Apparently they are selling them to contractors.

Question:
I found the pics of the guys who dug up a power line and got fried. The pics are pretty bad. Am i allowed to post them in News Desk or do I need to go to Dark Alley to do that?

Full reels are one thing but this idjit opened up a junction point, then hacked out the fibre. I don't think that they ever caught him.
