- jacquesm 3y agoThis happened in Amsterdam a couple of decades ago. There was a newly minted industrial area on the other side of a bridge and the power company had temporarily run a pretty beefy hookup to the other side of the canal (Zeeburgerdijk) to power the various businesses there. The cable was about 4" thick. One night the power went out without warning and the power company showed up, when they found the break they found a hacksaw embedded in the cable fused solidly to the cable guts. They never bothered to file a report with the police because they figured whoever did that had been punished enough and sure enough there was a report of a guy with massive burns reporting to a nearby hospital that same night.
