meanwhile here they left a massive spool of obvious copper laying on the ground with nothing protecting it whatsoever, and it remained completely untouched for like a week
Comment on this is exactly what copper would say

But how much copper they gotta steal to pay for driving out to it? I need to check the price of copper.

If they were good at math, they wouldn’t be thieves.

What??? You realize very smart people become criminals. The crime world is basically the same as the mainstream. And all of it intertwines anyway, street crime and mainstream unethical things.
A person literally has the option And the same drive someone puts into a PhD can be put into being criminal.

Thievery isn’t the only crime. It’s not even particularly lucrative. It’s mostly done by desperate people who don’t know better or independently wealthy thrill seekers who don’t care about the take.

That’s true, but am financial crimes or organized crimes are where the smarter people are. Stealing raw materials to sell at shady recyclers is low bar moron crime.
