  1. How do you manage to steal a load of copper from a substation without zapping yourself in the process? Even pulling the fuses requires a knowing what you’re doing to avoid them arcing and blowing up in your face as you remove them.

  2. Truly amazing how willing people are to commit millions of damage for the sake of a few hundred quid.

  3. To be fair, of it’s a GE scanner, as in the picture, they are pretty good at getting stuff up and running again. It’s not like it’s Philips, who take a week to get an engineer out to you
