How pathetic do you have to be to steal roughly less than 45 feet of cheap electrical wire?
I used that wire as a cheap antenna for a portable SW radio I have. I just throw it in a tree at work and listen in on my lunch break in my car. It allows me to faintly pick up some international SW stations, notably the BBC in the Ascension islands, amateur radio, and more easily pick up aircraft radio.
Today at lunch I didn't pull the wire down as i was in a hurry, and planned to just get it down after my last 15 minute break, and since the area I work in allows me a good view of it, on top of it being...literally just cheap wire, I didn't think someone would be ballzy enough to steal it. I was wrong. As I'm helping customers at my register I see a new blue mustang pull up, music as loud as possible, go right over and yank the wire out and put it in his car.
I couldn't do anything since I can't leave my register.
I suppose I should be thankful they didn't look in my car and try to break into it(though had that happened, i would have rushed out there and a fight would have ensued, regardless of whether I was left standing or not), as that had far more in it that was worth more. But still....the fact that these assholes knew it wasn't just a random wire(it had a connector I soldered on it's end), and decided "we're gonna steal it" pisses me off. Like really, you idiots really gonna steal roughly 17$ of wire+a connector....? seriously? don't y'all dumbasses have anything better to do?
