Out here as well. Earlier this month a would be thief broke into an underground utility box and proceeded to use bolt cutters to cut a 25,000 volt copper cable. After 6000 people were without power, city workers investigating the outage found the bolt cutters welded to the cable. Police are still looking for the suspect but wonder how he didn't fry.
Didn't fry.... evaporated.

They are getting bolder and dumber every day. There was one guy downtown removing copper wiring beside the Shoppers Drug Mart. In the middle of day!

They don't even hold them anymore in Alberta unless it's a murder. Kick them out on the street with a court date they never show up for. Doesn't matter how many warrants are outstanding either. By the time they might catch up to them, they've acquired an illegal gun, commit a break in and shoot someone. Then the public wonders how this could have happened. A sad testimonial to our justice system and no wonder why people are turning towards self protection.

Apologies for my non-humorous post in this thread but my disgust in the system came alive.

Subject: Fw: Life is Too Short
I'm getting there
LIFE IS TOO SHORT............
I recently picked a new primary care doctor.
After two visits and exhaustive lab tests, he said I was doing 'fairly
well' for my age. (I just turned "mid eighties").
A little concerned about that comment, I couldn't resist asking him,
'Do you think I'll live to be 90?'
He asked, 'Do you smoke tobacco, or drink beer, wine or hard liquor?'
'Oh no,' I replied. 'I'm not doing drugs, either!'
Then he asked, 'Do you eat rib-eye steaks and barbecued Ribs?'
I said, 'Not much... my former doctor said that all red meat is very
unhealthy!'
'Do you spend a lot of time in the sun, like playing golf, boating,
sailing, hiking, or bicycling?'
'No, I don't,' I said.
He asked, 'Do you gamble, drive fast cars, or have a lots of sex?'
'No,' I said...

He looked at me and said, 'Then, why do you even care?


SOME THINGS TO PONDER AS WE AGE
The inventor of the treadmill died at the age of 54.
The inventor of gymnastics died at the age of 57.
The world bodybuilding champion died at the age of 41.
The best soccer player in the world, Maradona, died at the age of 60.


And then...

KFC inventor died at 90.
Inventor of Nutella brand died at the age of 88.
Cigarette maker Winston died at the age of 102.
The inventor of opium died at the age of 116 - in an earthquake.
Hennessy cognac, Irish inventor, died at 98.

How did doctors come to the conclusion that exercise prolongs life?

The rabbit is always jumping, but it lives for only 2 years.
The turtle that doesn't exercise at all, lives 200 years.

So…

Have a drink...

Take a nap ...

And when you wake up, have some bacon and eggs.​
