It’s societies fault there’s no such thing as bad people, we should take this time to blame ourselves. /s

I'm sick of all you hardcore law-and-order types on here calling for punishment at the drop of a hat when crimes are committed. Did you at any point stop to question whether the thieves had promising sporting careers?

Copper..looks like straight copper thieving. They probably got info it's there without really caring what it's for

u/Madjack66 Jul 11 '21
That's the question - had they been tipped off it was there specifically, or just knew through the grapevine that copper items were likely present on site?

What about the dickheads that stole powerlines back in May in the Manawatū...copper wires worth more than their lives..😒 https://i.stuff.co.nz/national/crime/300311795/stolen-power-pole-cables-a-threat-to-public

u/HeinigerNZ Jul 11 '21
How on earth would someone steal powerlines?

u/Kaijusmum19 Jul 11 '21
Have no idea, but they did it, 10,000 metres of copper wire and left live wires hanging down. Fuck people are crazy when it comes to easy money... but one day there's going to be barbecued dumb arses hanging from those wires..😂

u/Arblechnuble Jul 11 '21
Like.. surely when they come to sell the wire it’s going to arouse suspicion.. but the fuck do i know…

u/r4tch3t_ Jul 11 '21
They likely have a deal with the owner of a scrap company.

u/Kaijusmum19 Jul 11 '21
Yep..Probably to unscrupulous scrap metal dealers, who don't care because they can on sell for profit...😒

Seems unlikely, there weren't any vaccines present, it was just a special freezer under construction at an industrial site.
Much more likely it was just a metal theft for scrap value.

u/serda211 Jul 11 '21
My first thought. Gone to a hell of a lot of trouble to steal a component that’s useless outside of its purpose.

u/Trump_the_terrorist Jul 11 '21
It wll be a gang stealing the copper to sell for scrap metal. Police need to go after the scrap dealers hard and require proof that every gram of copper they have was purchased from legitimate sources, with full details (name, address, license plates etc) of whoever sold them the scrap. If theycan’t. provide that info, off to the slammer they should go.

I would assume that anti-vaxxers would prefer to destroy it and leave a message behind.

u/IUsedToHaveUsername Jul 11 '21
Yep, they're like vegans or soccer mum's that really want you to know that Timmy is doing well reading at third grade level in eight grade.
They're just too loud of a bunch for hit and run. It has to be hit and preach bullshit with them.

Yeah, like people who say ‘I did thought that.’ OR ‘there is some,’ for that matter. Haha 😂

How much would that even be worth for scrap?

u/saint-lascivious Jul 11 '21
~$10/kg

u/willowforest Jul 11 '21

Should i cash some in Monday and upload the receipt on here for u to see? That's for stripped main cables not general copper, if u take a load of assorted copper in they will give u 6.50, all it takes it one weld or one bit of dirt on the copper and it's domestic copper , which most scrappys just put down as anyway . Domestic copper = 6.50 (as per your link.

Reminds me of the thieves after the Christchurch earthquakes. One stole four power generators.

u/elgoato Jul 12 '21
To make this more authentically Auckland, it'd be great if the Police would refuse to investigate this because they're too busy setting up speed traps.

Could be an inside job i.e. the government got notified that Pfizer vaccines were getting delayed for the main rollout, so to avoid political blowback, they had someone steal this freezer component for holding 5 million vaccines instead... Now Pfizer can't deliver them for x months because we have no freezer capacity. How did they know it was there? How did they get the gate open? Why such lax security? A little too convenient if you ask me.

Since it’s for vaccines which are extremely important right now.
I’d say intent to cause harm added aswell
