Guess who won’t be charging their EV at Lidl Oldbrook for a while?

The weigh-in value of valuable metal in these cables is about £25

As if finding a decent charger isn’t hard enough as it is, thieving doasyoulikeys
Look at from a broader view, they’ll know there is cctv, so the motor they’re using is either stolen, false plates or unregistered, all of those means no insurance, means if you get hit you’re up shit creak.
They’re stripping it and either weighing it in as it is or smelting it down, that means there’s scrap dealers turning a blind eye or in on it, voiding their waste licence. Flytipping for the sheathing. There’s so much more to it I could go on.
People think it’s just some cables, big deal, but there’ll be some people’s days and time wasted because of this, money wasted replacing and repairing, police time wasted.
Why can’t people just get a fucking job like the rest of us have to

CCTV is worthless, the police won't even look at it. Even if they did the people who commit these kinds of crimes are basically immune.

This is why I think the cable should be electrified 24/7! Watch them stop stealing cables after a few of them get electrocuted!

The ones at Ashland were done a few weeks ago.

Is it because you have to pay?
nicocompuesto@reddit (OP)
Maybe look more closely at the picture.

Oh the cables have been cut? I don't drive so I don't know what they are supposed to look like. Plus being on a phone didn't help.
nicocompuesto@reddit (OP)
No worries. Yeah, I guess someone stole the cables to sell the copper. Sucks big time for everyone!
symtanner@reddit
No it looks like the cables have been vandalised.
ACrispyDuck@reddit
People suck :(
nicocompuesto@reddit (OP)
I felt indignation and embarrassment at the same time.

Let me guess, you thought buying an EV meant free fuel?
