Electrocuted man found hanging from electrical pole

well thats pretty dumb.there is more than 50 in copper i know because last year i was picking them up in connecticut for a contractor environmental company.After last october nasty little storm .people were stealing them as they were wrapped in safety container as there is pcb's in most of them ..I know were there is 1/4 mile of main power wire it solid copper but i have a family and don't want to risk it as it 3" thick and like my freedom.It lost in was branches and tosed over enbackment and we were moving trees and tossing them down and i found it i left it ..I'm honest person "used to not be" any way i learned to be honest so i called power company they said "was it off pole" i said never mind it came down in storm they really said there insurance already paid them but its still our property ,i told them were it was there yet to find it but i can find it lol but there to lazy to go down embankment ...

If that copper wire isnt on their property and is off the pole, I think it would now be the land owners property now. Not 100% sure about that though. That would be a nice pay day if you could get ahold of it!!!!

Brasscatcher is correct. It's the same thing as if your car spins off the highway and winds up in my swimming pool. It's still your car...get it out of my pool!
