Personally i think people that was stealing cable, manhole covers, lead of roofs and other similar acts should be punished a lot more than they currently are. For a few pounds they are putting many peoples lives at risk.

of course they should, i was remarking on the damage to his hands , he has that pain and scares for life , burns, are not a short lived thing unlike a broken bone or cut,
a life long reminder, play with fire you get burnt,
there isnt any legal punishment can match that

I fully agree should be something like minimum 5 years jail, a lot of the perpetrators are P1keys or Romanians
