scroats like this who put lives in danger by stealing copper cable for scrap should be made to realise the dangers. strap em in the electric chair and switch on gets my vote.
 
A good example i think for re-instating ...''Public Flogging'' ....lol!!! Seriously though, something really does need to be done about these scroats, and if public flogging is an option that would work, ....Then So Be It!!!
 
As copper cables constitute part of a (hopefully) safe system, removal of a part of said system would render that same potentially unsafe, therefore, destruction of an otherwise safe system should not be dealt with as a matter of theft, but as a case of attempted manslaughter. Hang 'em ( got to think about carbon footprint).
 
is it just 'pot luck' in these cases which way diverted neutral currents flow

assuming it's not overvoltage

is it advantageous in this case to have a low resistance between MET and true earth or not
