Copper Thief Goes for Darwin Award

Copper Thief Goes for Darwin Award

It’s important when going for a Darwin Award to complete the job. You can’t win if you’re still breathing. Apparently, a Los Angeles copper thief didn’t understand the rules of entry. A man, described as being in his 20s, attempted to steal copper from a live Edison vault, according to authorities. At about 2am in the morning a neighbor heard a man screaming from within the local power substation. The witness said the man was literally on fire and screaming in agony.
