The best part is that's probably $5 worth of copper. That's an AC charger, not one of the big boi DC chargers with a 400 amp cable.

could even just be a cooker dipshit who hates EVs

Probably the "stealing cables from EV chargers" thing has made the rounds amongst the cooker dipshit community and our hero wouldn't know a kilowatt if it bit him, so he thinks there's good money in that cable.

It looks like a short cable, so it probably contains the same amount of copper as a $25 extension cord from Bunnings.

What is a "cooker dipshit"?

Taleya@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 138d (1 reply)

Cooker = conspiracy theorist . The bad, antisocial kind. The kind that thinks there's 5g and autism in vaccines and sovereign citizen bullshit gets them magically out of having to pay rego and that cutting EV charger cables is an act of rebellion

Dipshit = dipshit

Thank you for the answer and frankness.

Could be, but we've definitely had a problem with copper thieves. A bunch of shared paths and bike paths have signs up on them saying that the lights have had their cables replaced with aluminium, due to theft of copper.

Hmm, car number plates are clearly visible. Did you report it?

PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone · 6 pts · 138d (2 replies)

Expired as well. Probably this clown stole it to.

Sorry. unrelated question. It is clearly screenshot from a mobile, and you are posting to Lemmy. Are you accessing Lemmy on mobile too? What client are you using?

PetulantBandicoot@aussie.zone · 3 pts · 138d

Yes, on mobile. Jerboa (Jerboa for Android) is the app name.
