Well as long as the value is less than $900, the thieves will not be
prosecuted.
Liberal logic at it's best.
'Thieves Steal Teslas Electric Vehicle Charging Cables for Copper in
California'

'If Democrat-run California wants to force residents into electric
vehicles (EVs), Democrat-run California had better start cracking down
on crime. Talk about the law of unintended consequences
Thieves are targeting high-powered Tesla and other EV charging stations
and stealing the heavy cable for the copper metal inside, reports San
Franciscos NBC affiliate. In Vallejo, someone cut cables from nine
charging stations leaving Tesla drivers in a bind and causing tens of
thousands of dollars in damage and repair costs.
I think this is the second time or third that these have been cut, a
local EV driver added. So they need to put some gates up or something.
I dont know what they can do, but this is pretty inconvenient.
Dont you see the beauty of all this
?
EV drivers vote for Democrats.
Democrats pass regulations that demand residents switch to EVs.
Democrats also pass laws that basically decriminalize crime.
Knowing there will be little to no consequences if caught, thieves
destroy EV charging stations for their copper.
And the cycle then completes with EV drivers getting what they voted
for.
Yes, the very same Democrat-run cities and states that want to force us
to drive battery-powered cars are so soft on crime and criminals, the
very thing needed to keep those battery-powered cars running are
vandalized and made useless.
Even better is the fact that one of the primary reasons people dont
want to move to EVs is reliability: they fear being unable to recharge
due to a lack of available charging stations. Thefts like these will
only increase that fear.
And how do you stop it? Contrary to what that EV driver said, gates
wont work. If you have tools capable of cutting that thick power cord,
you have tools capable of cutting through a fence or a padlock.
One could argue that these charging stations would be better protected
if located at gas stations, but I dont buy that. The reason thieves
dont target gas pumps has nothing to do with their locations and
everything to do with the fact that gas pumps have nothing valuable to
steal. One sleepy overnight clerk at a 24-hour service station wont
stop these crimes, and you can bet word is spreading through the
criminal grapevine about how easy and lucrative this crime is.
Democrats cant have both. They cant be both soft on crime and demand
we drive battery-powered cars. The good news is that Democrats will
never admit this. Nothing will change. Things will only get worse, and
EV drivers will get a taste of what they voted for, which grows more
bitter with each passing year.
What do I care?
I dont.
I live here.
I live in a magical land called Toldjaso.'
