If you have the stomach for it, google images of electrocuted copper thieves.

There ain't much left to em. They are reduced to black stains on the ground.
If I have the gift of prophesy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to move mountains but do not have love I am nothing. And if I give all my possessions to feed the poor, and if I surrender my body to be burned but do not have love it profits me nothing.

Wow, those photos are incredible...perhaps if an example picture were posted at these areas, the idiots wouldn't make an attempt. But on the bright side, this is a useful mode of natural selection and sharpening the gene pool :thumbup:
