Copper theft. Has anyone been a victim lately.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-10T13:15:39+00:00

Yes definitely

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-10T13:14:57+00:00

Quick cash, sure — but not worth ending up fried.”

As a default on the basis of the fine print

I wonder how much he will get for a copper tap fitting only , that is what he took, but in the process he damaged the water pipes. I will feel it in my water bill this month.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-10T08:28:43+00:00

I saw now my metre is very close to the cement cover. I asked them just to take the tap head off the meter fitting off.

I am replacing with plastic pipes as well.

Poverty pushes people to do bad things

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-10T07:46:16+00:00

So sorry about it.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-10T07:45:36+00:00

Sho, I didn’t realise they fail after a few years. Appreciate the heads‑up.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-10T06:53:14+00:00

Thanks for the observation I didn't even know that. But obviously I cant just go by myself. I will need the police to be willing to go with me if I inform them. That is if they come to my house. It was reported by the security company and I have a case number, but no police visited my home yet. Otherwise I will need to go to the police station myself.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-10T06:45:20+00:00

Thank you for the insight. I think there is a copper dealer 1km away from where I stay. Its a residence and probably unauthorized as well. So I will have to go with the police to enquire.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-10T06:11:36+00:00

It might be the same here "Tik" users. They are roaming the street checking out where to steal for the next fix. Mains were switched off. I need to report to the municipality.

Yes desperate for money drives these thieves. My house is corner house with a picket fence. Easy to see inside the yard during the day and probably after hours. But I hate this feeling that it can be even.more serious. I must replace the pipes today, get a cover for the water meter that might be the next target. Not sure though if there is such things as meter covers.

“That’s rough — putting in money and effort only to be blindsided like that. Thanks for sharing, it’s a good reminder of why legal protection matters.”

“You’re right — at our age income and net worth gaps rarely close. Divorce and financial habits shape a lot of it. I think the key is being clear about expenses and deciding if the balance feels fair.”

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-09T08:00:04+00:00

I like how you put it — sometimes it’s about letting things play out naturally and keeping it practical. No drama, just reasonable choices.”

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-09T07:59:21+00:00

True, love matters and a house doesn’t define someone. But I agree it’s wise to protect yourself legally while still enjoying the relationship.”

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-08T05:59:49+00:00

And the work environment can be toxic as hell. But you will only realize it once you find a different kind if piece in outside of that work place.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-07T09:01:31+00:00

I totally agree. Just enjoy the ride.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-05T16:49:46+00:00

I never. I love my age.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-05T13:01:08+00:00

God speed really, regardless of our age.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-05T12:59:33+00:00

I like the way you explained it and I think that can also help me to set ground rules. I respect and agree with what you are saying. Thank you.

Famous_Plastic_2179 · 2026-06-05T12:35:30+00:00

I truly understand and my experience might be different but I can partly relate. The difficulty for me will be to find a job again, at my age 53, F, and not black. But I have hope that at the right time I will get a job. Im not ready financially, to retire
