I love when thieves are trying to steal copper, but all they get is a broken fiber optic ;)

My dad works as a network engineer, and he told me a story that one of the banks in Poland lost one of the internet providers. They investigated and found out that thieves stole hundreds of meters of a fiber cable, because they thought that it's copper.

Don't they typically have co-extruded copper in the conduit/pipes for Utility Locators to use, even if it's just fiber inside?

that sounds like so much fun for all involved
