Bronco fuel theft.

[2door]

We had meth heads steal 3 phase wiring from our conduit running from the pole under our road to our shop. Likely $50 street value copper to them, $4,k repair for me. To prevent it in future, we removed all turn-offs from the pole (except actual line fuses) and welded 3/8” hardened clamshell channel iron around the conduit going clear up the pole to the line. We later found these tweakers were dumb enough to start to take cordless sawsalls and start to attempt to hack through our iron, which would likely result in them mainlining 480volts. To this day I won’t be surprised to find a crispy body laying there one morning coming into work.
