I’ve heard of copper theft from abandoned buildings and homes, but never from an active business. This is awful.

A government building, on top of that.

People attempt to steal copper from live electrical equipment from time to time. These attempts tend not to end well for the thief. Getting wet cutting pipes of HVAC equipment is much lower risk.

I'm not gonna say I'm happy about this (certainly hope none of the employees are getting fucked over by this) but jesusfuck this is the worst dmv, so maybe there is a bit of schadenfreude involved

All for $50? Wtf
The thousands of dollars worth of water damage doesn't actually affect them when they're not caught. They just objectively got $50, which is a lot when you're living in a tent under a bridge.
Just think about that: there's a whole economy of items being stolen and sold for essentially scrap value just to feed an insatiable daily appetite for alcohol and drugs. When you see that huge tent city, just know that the people within it are feeding on the surrounding neighborhood like locusts. Anything not nailed down worth stealing will be stolen and converted, likely into heroin.
I swear if the police just came through on horse and trampled the tents I'd probably be OK with it.
You're making a lot of dumb assumptions here. Just a whole lot of dumb coming from this comment
You must be one of those people who think they just found all those bike parts and scrap metal.
Fair enough
A lot of drug money*
Ask a crack head what he would do for $50 worth of crack and you will get an idea
