I had an REO out in the country with quite a bit of privacy. When I found it the condition wasn't too bad but it had to be trashed out and the yard mowed. I had the utilities turned on and sent the cleanup crew to clean it.
I sent the yard man to mow. They each used the electricity and water. When I went up on the next afternoon, I couldn't get the electricity to come on. After checking the meter pole I found what you see in the photos above. The copper wiring had been cut, jerked out of the ground and carried off. Evidently someone was watching and came promptly to get the copper as soon as the "coast was clear".
We're having a lot of copper theft in our county. Don't know if you're having the same problem but be on the alert! Another REO that I had had been completely stripped of the copper and there was a lot of it in the house.
