Know lass that's house got a batteringHow the he'll can these ***** be stopped!!Unless someone wrights it into a story line on corrie I dont think thell ever fully understand danger!!!
 
the trouble is its the innocents now that are starting to get caught up in it. a street this time last year over burnley way nearly went up in flames after some plank nicked a 20 quid piece of copper. how long will it be before some innocent child touches the end of a live cable? they need to sentence these idiots hard and fast to make a prime example of them for the rest before some innocent gets killed or badly injured. give them 10 years for stealing copper and make them serve it, it won`t stop it all but it may just put a few off doing it. mind you if they plead guilty good old Ken Clarke will let em out the same day
 
Nearly all the terraced houses around my local area have had the 10mm bonding cables cut and stolen from the shared alleyways to the back of the properties........sign of the times?

went to job a couple of years ago to replace stolen 10mm. There were some pikeys squatting in a house across the road and one of them actually came up and told us hed be back for that when wed gone and were we doing any more houses in the area.
Police not interested and the customer had given up complaining.

:D the only human rights that concern me are the rights of the victims. especially in these instances. if your going to play lets steal some live cable you know what your playing with, the ones that don`t know are the poor sods walking past it or getting their houses blown to bits. arson can carry a life sentance even if no one os killed so maybe we should be threatening such sentences instead of some community pay back or such rubbish.



rant over and I feel a whole load better now :D:D
