10.6.11 Copper Thief

Whilst it's supposedly not PC (forgive the pun) to laugh at someone else's misfortune, I could not help but be mildly amused by a story in the paper this week, and the nature of the report.  Apparently thefts of cable to sell as scrap have soared in the UK due to surge in the value of copper.

Why is it that people who do stupid things warn others afterwards not to do stupid things?
Why is it that people who do drugs then warn others (when they've fucked their bodies and/or noses) not to do drugs?

A criminal who suffered horrific burns while breaking into an electricity sub-station has warned of the dangers of stealing copper cabling.  Well how fucking enlightening!  He has apparently said: "My message is, Don't do it, - people think it's easy but they don't realise how stupid they are being."  Who is this mysterious they?  He's the one who's been a twat, and caught 22,000 volts.
