Would-Be Copper Thief ?Extremely Grave? After He?s Shocked And Catches On Fire

SAN BERNARDINO (CBS) ? A would-be copper thief was gravely injured early Saturday morning when he attempted to steal copper wiring from a live Edison vault, according to authorities.

Witnesses told CBS2 and KCAL9 reporter Melissa Maynarich that the man could be heard screaming in agony.

Jeff Grammatico was across the street from the substation when he said, ?I heard a boom.? He added, ?It made me jump from one side of the room to the other.?

He ran to the fence and saw a man burning alive. ?It was scary. I was trying to cut the gate to get in. It was horrifying to watch him burn.?

Grammatico says he ran back to his home to get a fire extinguisher while another passerby called 911. ?He kept standing and screaming, screaming, screaming. And I couldn?t get in. I had a fire extinguisher. But he wouldn?t come over. But he started to roll.?

Officials say the suspect is ?extremely grave? and that it?s likely he was burned by 33,000 volts of electricity.

Anyone who tries to steal cable from an electricity substation is clearly a fool. These copper thieves are really getting annoying now with the disruption they're causing so hopefully this news will make some future morons reconsider their actions at least.

Maybe he'll learn not to touch things that don't belong to him.

Ain't that the truth! We've had metal thieves hit an occupied house. Nervy SOB's, and I'll bet it'll slow down fast if some granny all but saws one in half with a 12 gauge full of buckshot.
