$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('', 'Y')ANGON (Reuters) - Not everybody in military-ruled Myanmar is cursing the blackouts.
Thieves in the former Burma's main city, Yangon, are taking advantage of outages often lasting for more than 20 hours a day to steal the copper power cables, police said on Friday.

But if you get a few miles of cable you get comparatively rich, and if you have any sense your first step is to isolate a long segment of cable before you start collecting it, not really a hard thing to do.
$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Alfred Tennyson', 'W')e are not now that strength which in old days
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are;
One equal temper of heroic hearts,
Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will
To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield.
