[RalR]

Witnesses reported a man running from a vacant home with stolen property Friday afternoon in Perry Hall, Baltimore County police said.

At about 2:13 p.m., in the 8800 block of Dove Drive, a man broke into a home through a basement door and cut copper piping to a water heater. The man then ran away with the copper piping along the tree line toward Honeygo Boulevard, according to Julia Hardgrove, a county police spokeswoman.

Witnesses described the man as a white male in his early 20s, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and baggy blue jeans, Hardgrove said.

Probably a dangerous gangster-like lying white guy thug. Disturbing.

Metal thieving drug addicts are the lowest form of humanity. They should be shot of sight.

This guy may not have been an addict. Lucrative criminals like this guy are becoming sophisticated with their actions including removing copper from electrical boxes and cell phone towers.

Pathetic loser. It's time to make this type of "petty" theft a felony.

A dozen city Department of Transportation employees may be fired after they were accused of stealing nearly $60,000 in scrap metal, city officials said Friday.

An investigation by the city's inspector general estimated the employees were earning about $191,000 annually from the sale of heavy-gauge cable stolen from Baltimore Gas and Electric Co. and the city's conduit system. The agency found evidence for only part of that sum, however, and did not know how long the alleged scheme might have continued.

Case solved.

Case solved.

Under questioning, most of the employees denied stealing the cable, argued they were allowed to do so, or said their supervisors permitted the activity, the investigation showed. One employee, however, "admitted to stealing deactivated cable," the report said

"That employee indicated that periodically, the truck crew would search for deactivated cable in the duct banks and remove the cable by attaching a chain to the cable and hooking the chain onto the bumper of the City truck and pulling the cable out of the manhole," the report stated. "The employee further advised that one employee would conduct the transaction at Mid-Atlantic, receive the proceeds, and split it amongst the crew who was assigned to the truck that day."

The employee also said that "this conduct had been occurring for years and that most crews engaged in this activity," the report stated. "Supervisors were aware of the conduct and may have even condoned it."

Indeed. A few years too late. But solved.

This is an example of why people need to go to jail when convicted, regardless of how much its costs society to keep an inmate in prison.

It is estimated that it costs $40,000 per year to keep someone in prison, that is bargain for taxpayers.

For someone stealing something as simple as copper, will likely do a $100,000 to $200,000 dollars in damages during a normal year of criminal activity. Not to mention loss wages of victims, possible medical costs and so forth.

About $1,500 worth of copper wire was recovered by BGE. Damage to the fence will cost about $500 to repair, according to the police report.

Brian Scott Hildreth, 45, of the 1500 block of Taylor Avenue in Parkville, and Kenneth James McDonald, 56, of the unit block of Gibbons Boulevard in Baltimore, were each charged with theft, burglary, malicious destruction of property and trespassing, court records show.
