Call The Cop-pers!, Part 2

I work for a fiber company. I’m talking to a coworker who is laughing about a recent trip to check on some cable.

Coworker: “So, we caught some dumb-a**es trying to steal our cables.”

Me: “Huh? But why?”

Coworker: “They wanted it for the copper. They didn’t know I was from the fiber company, so they just up and confessed what they were doing like some kind of pride thing. They thought I was just a passing tradesman and that I’d appreciate their efforts to “stick it to the man” or something…”

Me: “Did you tell them that our cables are made with glass?”

Coworker: “I pointed out the ‘fiber wire, no copper’ message that was sprayed on it, but they said, “That sounds like something that would be on a copper wire to trick us. Better steal this one!” So, I just stood around chatting with them as they tried to steal our cables while the cops were on their way.”
