Last week, the church renting DMTC's theater had its air conditioning units (stationed on the roof that we both share) vandalized by copper thieves. It was the sheerest luck that the thieves didn't get to DMTC's air conditioning units.
If this keeps up, it's only a matter of time before our theater goes dark in the middle of a show, because on some inexpert use of bolt cutters on live power lines. Since it is a theater, I only ask that the theater go dark at an appropriate place in the story:
Sacramento Police said a man was electrocuted late Tuesday night when he was trying to cut a high-voltage power line to steal copper wire for its recycling value.
"Deputies responded, along with firefighters," said Sacramento police spokesman Norm Leong. "They found a man from the Roseville area who appears to have been trying to steal copper wiring from the electrical lines in the SMUD box."
Police said the 38-year-old man died in an attempt to steal copper wire at Harry Renfree baseball field near Auburn Boulevard and Watt Avenue about 10:30 p.m. A city pump was also damaged in an apparent theft at the baseball complex.
