Death by electrocution isn't part of the British justice system, not for any crime. Certainly not for theft.

It is though a very well known risk associated with this "practise"
It is certainly "rough" justice IMO and put forward another candidate for that years Darwin Award!!

Agreed. It's a significant enough risk for professionals who know what they're doing, so anyone d*cking about with live conductors for whatever reason without the proper knowledge is pretty damn stupid.

A Darwin award, yes - I mentioned stupidity above. But IMHO to consider death an appropriate punishment for stealing is no kind of justice, rough or otherwise.

It is appropriate to the risk.
......and for scrap metal worth a few quid?
Wether or not you consider it due punishment that's up to you but I can assure you that the world is better of without such people.

i agree with you Kinsley, theft is one of the worst things that can happen to any person, and if any body doesn't think theft is all that bad then leave a key on your door step and tell them it's OK, when some one steels your property it's devastating

As devastating as telling a mother her kid's dead? Losing a loved one is THE worst thing that can happen to someone, end of. That's something you NEVER get over, something that burns you long, long after you've bought some new stuff to replace something nicked. F*** me, a sense of perspective please people!

Oh whatever... Enjoy your Daily Mail.

A sense of perspective?

If somebody was robbing my house I guarantee you the old bill would be telling someone they'd lost a loved one.

My other halfs friend got burgled in the run up to Christmas. Took most of kiddies Christmas presents, what they didn't take the opened and destroyed plus smashed the tvs, the lizard home and left 3 knifes on the bed upstairs. Good thing she wasn't home eh?


Still if you want to defend their corner go for it

so what would you do to the people who steel high voltage cables, not just the ground but from train signals and points , when a couple of trains get derailed and people hurt or killed you can give him a slap on the hands and say dont do it again,
and yes we can buy new possessions, but if it ever happens to me again i would find out who they are, he, her, or what ever would not break in ever again
