Really? Rats and copper harvesters?

Like it's gonna be some unprotected plastic cables 1 foot under the ground?

I don't know but I've heard stories. Stealing cables underground is not common but it happened. And rats and underground water is quite a problem for underground (copper) cables.
Sometimes they don't even steal the cables... This guy just liked the sparks. http://www.westvalleyview.com/main.asp?Search=1&ArticleI...
