I read that something like 50 people a year are electrocuted trying to steal copper power lines from utility poles in Detroit. Dozens others are injured. Imagine being that stupid and amoral.
Some idiot did that here a few years ago. He broke into a power station under repair and it had been raining. He jumped down into a section that had copper pipes and wiring. The space had water on the ground from the rain and the electric was on. Fried like KFC.

In Detroit they steal siding off houses while people are inside. They steal the guard rails on roadways, light poles. It’s incredible….fences….they cut down the fencing, roll it up and take it to the scrap yard. It goes on 24/7

"...Trump, 79, Sends Seriously Weird Begging Email From ‘Dying Laptop’ While ‘Alone in the Dark’
THE TWILIGHT ZONE
Memo urges $47 donations to stave off impeachment.


Donald Trump has sent his supporters a strange fundraising email describing himself as “alone and in the dark” with a “dying laptop,” and begging for cash that would help him avoid another “FAKE” impeachment.

The message, sent from one of the president’s fundraising lists and headed with a black-and-white portrait of Trump, 79, begins, “Some people are saying: This is SAD!” before launching into a melodramatic scene..."

13.5 hp Kawasaki air cooled.
The John Deere lawn tractor is 24 hp. I’m quite fond of it. I would’ve preferred diesel, but it is gasoline.

Diesel's way over-rated. If I could do it over, I would get a gasoline engine.
