are /diy/ people really this mean?
The faggots who key suvs don't like drinking their own medicine huh?
same people who do this put their carts in the corral.
>>2891398>anotherHow common is this? Any nogger can easily steal your $200 AC charger that's hanging on the outlet end. I'd think only idiots would try this in public, and getting the shitty wire cut is a very small blow compared to the charger being stolen. Especially when the guy doing the cutting is retarded enough to leave you with plenty of wire hanging to do a simple splice repair.
>>2891398This is very dangerous for the person cutting the cable. If it's pulling significant amps you might be a nerve gas victim soon. Luckily this looks like a regular 120/240 connection from the light.
>>2891429>nogger can easily stealNot possible because of the topology puzzle of the wire wrapped around the wheel spoke.
Could have wrote down the number plate and call the police.This is a literal crime.
>>2891461And then the cops would just ignore your call and nothing would happen
>>2891398Whose outlet is that? Some privale lot owners might not mind. And even encourage free (low rate) charging to attract customers.
>>28914421/0 to the light post and your arc flash gear would solve that
Couldn't a guy just unplug it and take it? Free cord!
>>2891442>if it's pulling significant amps youAbsolutely not how electricity works at all but agree with the sentiment, you would want some vde bolt cutters ideally or marigolds if you are poor. Don't wear any synthetics and really you want face protection, eyes at a minimum. I'm not advocating for criminal damage and two wrongs don't make a right, but I also don't want to give any fuck around find out redditposters any ammunition.
>>2891468>cops will ignore perfectly good chances to write ticketsYeah, and Santa comes though the chimney, the tooth fairy leaves money under your pillow, your daddy won't keep assfucking you, and junkies can leave drugs at will.
>>28913981) I think charge ports have digital input pins to control the charge like USB except it’s canbus.2) There are also these devices that destroy USB ports.3) ???
>>2891481It’s obviously his own car and cord. Typical clickbaiter.Otherwise he’d show the license.> but doxing is wrong.So is vandalism.It’s more believable that the driver didn’t think it was wrong to plug in there. The vandal definitely knew what they were doing.But of course, it’s the same guy, so don’t over-think it.
>>2891481> free cord!Also free charge controller,Free side mirrors,Free wheels and tires.Maybe it’s a hybrid, and free catalytic converter!That’s an interesting way to view the world, isn’t it?
>>2891501>have broken chinkshit charger>cut it for staged photo op >post it for le sweet interweb points>trigger shitlibs and magacucks everywhere >profit?
>>2891502>That’s an interesting way to view the world, isn’t it?Well I'm black so that's how it works sweaty...
>>2891398>bolt cutters to a live lineEnjoy
>>2891451If he has bolt cutters he could also cut the lock off the cable loop and steal it. Why break a perfectly good portable charger?
>>2891536Most bolt cutters have rubber grips, your shoes have rubber soled, and asphalt & concrete do not conduct electricity. So there's virtually no chance of the electricity traveling through your body. And even if your cutters had no grips and you were standing barefoot on dirt ground, it would most likely still just short the circuit the tiny distance across the cutters jaw between the live and ground since electricity takes the easiest path of travel.
>>2891616For a real world example, I cut live romex with dykes all the time and it's never shocked me once. You just get a short between the wires at the cutting jaw and that's it.
Why does the light pole have a receptacle on it?Or did this gentleman open up the hand hole and splice in?In either case, I don't like the idea of some moral busybody cutting cords. >Does the owner of the car have permission to charge there? Don't know and don't care.
>>2891620While certainly not the default, car parks with outlets on lamp posts aren't all that rare in low crime areas. You've probably parked next to such an outlet hundreds of times without even realizing it because you weren't looking for it. They're probably there mainly for maintenance and ground crews to plug in on site machinery they're using that requires electricity. As a standard outlet, they're not intended for vehicle charging and would take a long time to do a full charge but if you just needed enough electrons to get you to a real charger a few miles away, it would be useful. Depending on the vehicle, you could get between one and five miles of range off an hour of charging.
>>2891442>>2891536Damn if only there was some way to disconnect the power source first before cutting. Sort of like an "unplugging," if you will. Hmm.
>>2891442>>2891626Who has bare metal ferrous cutters?
>>2891468not your business.
>>2891624Also for Christmas lights and decorations.
>>2891442Are you retarded? He obviously unplugs it, cuts it, then plugs it back in. I love it when retards like you make comments like this. You're so desperate to say something that makes you sound smart that you end up doing the exact opposite.
>>2891497They won't ignore it, but they won't prioritize it either so the person might be gone by the time the cops get around to finally responding. Better to just take matters into your own hands. Only weak, effeminate faggots call the cops to handle their business for them.
>>2891398imagine being such a karen you put your life at risk just to be a karen
>>2891630Who doesn't? There isn't a cutter-coating that would survive many cuts.
>>2891635Why plug it back in if you already bothered to unplug it once? It could theoretically become a fire hazard, and practically becomes shock hazard, if it hurts someone, you're the one going to jail. At least if you cut it while it's live, you might trigger the safety systems and cause it to turn off.
>>2891624In canada, lots of parking lots have outlets for block heaters. They’re not “on” continuously, however.Even this one might have only been on at night when the light is on, so might not have been stealing any power.Although cops might be pretty stupid, vigilantes are generally even stupider.
>>2891635The plugs are coming with lock devices and tamper notifications to your phone so you can catch them red handed and fix the underlying problem with a final solution.
>>2891777Why would you charge at someone who is holding a pair of bolt cutters?
>>2891468The cops would laugh - the power company wouldn't. This falls under "theft of services" and they could make his life hell.
>>2891781I wouldn’t bother charging at ayone.They brought bolt cutters to a gun fight.
>>2891647all mine have plastic or rubber handles.
>>2891398>destroying other people's property>leaving exposed conductors>that are still liveYou're a bigger menace to your community than whoever you're trying to run off, OP.>inb4 "I unplugged it before I cut the cord!"It's still going to run the risk of shocking people after you plug it back in, retard.
>>2891429>>2891481EVs lock the plug in you retards. You need to tell the car to unlatch the plug to unplug it.
>>2891905>EVs lock the plug in you retards. You need to tell the car to unlatch the plug to unplug it.Prybar says otherwise.
>>2891442Not on 110 it isn't, shitjeet.
its ridiculous how many people took this bait1 like = 1 prayer for president trumpwe stand with israelthese colors dont runone big ass mistake america
>>2891836How does that solve the issue of the cutter coming into contact with the live wires?
>>2891962I admit I was wrong. I thought the purpose was to prevent you from being the easier ground not the arcing.
>>2891398Perfect image designed to generate butthurt:>EV haters mad because it shows EV owners as entitled power thieves>EV owners mad because "muh gas isn't free" jealousy and property damage
>>2891624I've seen people plug into the lamp posts a few times at hotels that didn't have EV chargers.If they can manage to get 1kW of power out of that socket for, say, 10 hours, and the hotel pays a commercial electric rate of $0.10/kWh, that's a whopping $1 of electricity. About 40 miles of range in average, flat conditions.What's better are the campgrounds where you can plug into a 14-50 socket, getting you access to about 9.5kW of electricity for charging. Most decent hotels do also have 1 or 2 EV chargers these days.
>>2891616>most likely still just short the circuit the tiny distance across the cutters jawArc flash. Go blind. And not the fun way either.
>>2891646You are far removed from thinking of such people, I remember watchin security footage of one such Karen cutting hydraulic line on digger w garden shears because she was mad at the crew working on pawement.
>>2892084The spark on a 120 isn't going to blind you, fucking retard.
