      So he drove around at 4:30 just to cut a charger cable and then drive off with it?

      Well, you have culprit’s licence plate. Shouldn’t take too long for the police to find him

      That is utterly fucked. Hundreds lost for a couple of bucks of copper.

      What suburb is this?

      If you end up replacing the charger then the best bet is to get a plug in type 2 that way the cable is not left there.

      He’s got an eagle eye to spot that at night or did he know what he was looking for? Inside job from one of the companies you’re dealing with so you spend more to buy a replacement? Glaziers used to do this back in the day, hire little vandals to chuck bricks at shops with large glass windows $$$

      What the fuck is wrong with people it’s barely any copper scrap money and expensive AF for the owner.

      I have one installed but haven’t yet put my enclosure on. I sure will after seeing this.

      Impressive camera setup, at least 3 high quality cameras on the one car park!

      This might be a stupid question, but what could that amount of copper be worth? I was thinking like $5-$10 at most right? Or am I just left out of the booming copper market…

      How do you stop something like that? Just hope they don’t turn off your mains and cut it?

      It amazes me that governments don’t regulate the sale of copper. Make buyers keep a register of sales and record id.

      I feel cheated. I was hoping to see him go rigid and start to twitch a bit. Bit of smoke coming up out of his hoody too would have been nice. Damn these modern safety features.

      Cameras were worth the price, obviously didn’t give you a warning that someone was in your yard.

      Dipshits ripping copper power cable out of the ground around Brisbane and Ipswich too.

      Would be fun to watch if you could leave the cable energised, yeah the sparks ⚡️

      They’ve cased the joint. They knew that was there already. Have they been going past repeatedly since the charger got installed??

      And thus is why we need regulations and laws. Some human beings can’t be trusted.

      People who commit crime impulsively are not thinking properly. They likely made no profit.

      When you said ‘protective cover’ I thought you meant keep the weather out of it. Thought it must have been rained on and it zapped you.

      But then… wtF?!??

      It will go to scrap yard for $$$$

      Report to police, you’ll need to install a security fence, at least 6 feet high.

      Jesus, some people are just sick in the head that they’ll do anything to pretend they’re some sort of hero

      Some people hate EVs. Block charging ports with their utes even though there’s a ton of other parking closer to things.

      I’m not surprised
