They'll Steal Anything ...

[PornoDoggy]

Actually, the neatly taped off wires is a nice touch.

In St. Louis a few years back, they weren't nearly as ambitious when it came to street lamps. They were stealing only the aluminum access plate and exposing the wires. Over the course of one summer, about three kids got electricuted reaching in for an errant ball, or just to see what was in there.

They also used to steal empty or abandoned brick houses. A crew of four could take down and reclaim the bricks from a four-family in about three days, and get a couple thousand bucks for the bricks alone. A couple of fake permits, and nobody knew the difference.
