Does 12,000 volts kill?

2011 Reader Submission
Pending Acceptance

So this guy goes to tamper with a big ole transformer at the Edison substation. Next thing you know there's a report of a dead body at the site.

They think he's after the copper. Now most of us would know better than to even get near one of those things. And even if copper can fetch a good price..... was it worth it? you be the judge.

And another crispy copper crook gets tossed onto the pile for Darwin to take a gander at. Thanks, Victor.
