 Copper thefts - zippy
There really does seem tot be a feeling of "the punishment does not fit the crime"

This is more than just the metal, it is the country's infrastructure and as such is almost akin to terrorism.

Penalties should should not only reflect the value of the material stolen but the work and cost of replacing the material and all consequential costs.

So if stripping a roof of lead equates to £1k but replacing the lead and re-roofing is £60k then that should be what they are charged with stealing!
