Toasted Scrapper?

I think before you dis miss this poor gent as a thief I think the whole story would be needed. It is one thing if he was a landlord trying to make his property more attractive by offering free electricity and quite another if he was an unemployed man trying to keep his family warm

Using that logic, its alright if I knock over a liquor store or mug an old lady, as long as I buy groceries for my family with the money?

Apparently. There's certainly a different crop of people here that have in threads past tried to justify crime. Maybe it's a DetroitYes thing? Maybe he's being facetious? [[some folks are serious)

I mean, I make certain assumptions based off facts.
- Sensible people don't climb power poles unless they're utility worker.
- It's illegal.
- They were obviously determined to get something.

I think it's just as bad to fabricate a sob story scenario, then accuse people to jumping to assumptions.
