[sdiy] The price of copper (you couldnt make this up!)

[Veronica Merryfield]

As it was in this case. It was thought that the thieves that got away  
didn't manage to sell the copper since it was too 'hot'. The cost of  
repairs was significantly more than the copper taken. It also took the  
medical authorities an age to remove the body. Not a job anyone should  
have to do :(
