The piece starts at about 14mins & the exhibit is soon after 16min 30secs.

Two things grabbed me - one quite ingenious, the other a bit crazy.

See what you think.

It's Channel 5.

Any resemblance to anything true, accurate or intelligent is purely coincidental.

(referring to the meter having been removed and car battery jump leads used to bridge the tails) "The current going into the property could easily surge and start a fire".

Why do these media f***wits have an obsession about everything that goes wrong with electricity being a 'power surge'?? I shouted at the tv....

I remember watching that on the telly the other day. What I thought was a bit stupid was that the meter reader could turn up at any time and see that mess, so they couldn't just replace the meter before he was due to come.

True, but they're far from being the only ones to use dumbed down tabloidese to sensationalise any possible situation.

What a balls up.

Could have made a much neater job of it.

As for the copper, thinking a Wylex plug-in MCB has anything to do with the external electrics, while missing the 100A fuse carrier on the floor.

Great detection skills!

TBF there isn't much time left after the sexism and racism training, and the brainwashing to prevent them questioning politically motivated instructions to carry out unlawful arrests, for electrical instruction.

I can't work out why the thief completely removed the cutout. Made no sense to me.

They need training to be sexist and racist?

I was thinking that, went from being very dangerous to RIDICULOUSLY dangerous. At least with the cutout there you can pull the fuse - which he obviously did.

Clearly wasn't the sharpest tool in the box.

I believe that not all entrants are sufficiently so.

I couldn't win thought that, as the parts of it were on the floor and he used the blocks from in it. It could of been done so much safer, lol.

That and him keep calling it an electronics box.
