Copper Theft Up in Silicon Valley?

Since moving to Boulder, I occasionally read (through a Topix feed) the police blotter for our old ‘hood in Sunnyvale. Mostly I read it to a) remind myself just how much nicer it is here in Boulder, and b) keep abreast of what’s going on back where the house we still own and rent out is located.

Today I noticed that there seems to be a rash of copper thefts in the area. Ok, it’s just two, today, but still, don’t you think that two incidents involving the ‘transfer’ or theft of copper, among the stolen bike helmet and other petty thefts, kind of stands out?

So, what’s up with the copper thefts in Silicon Valley?
