Stupidity Case #1

I read this headline on The Star Online today and it read: Man suffers shock while trying to steal electric cables. WTF?? Didn't anyone tell this fella the basics, that metal and electricity is a no-no? How stupid can one be? I bet he wasn't stealing the power line to charge his mobile phone. I guess the cops won't have to worry about catching the theif and sentencing him to death by electrocution.
