Its a cop(per) out

Probably not the most politically correct thing to say - but some pikey ruined my journey into work this morning by pinching the copper wire out of the signal box on my railway line.

Why are there such morons allowed to roam around this planet? They have no idea of the knock on effect their mindless actions cause.

Needless to say it caused absolute chaos on my line, people crammed in like sardines because a load of trains were stuck with no signals and couldn't go anywhere. The train was late and it was generally unpleasant.

I was lucky enough to be able to fight my way to a seat - but once in said seat I couldn't move and had some middle aged businessman's backside practically in my face all the way to London. Lovely.

I just hope the copper wire managed to wrap itself round the throat of the thief or at the very least trip them up as they made their way home to sell it for a pittance.

Grrrrrr
