Not sure anyone wants to laugh. After all, the thief's family are probably innocent of any wrongdoing in this, and probably suffering.

Let me get one thing straight. I feel no sorrow for the electricity company. They will replace the missing cable, then just pass on the cost to their customers. After all, if it's not as if it's easy for most people to just decide they aren't going to use electricity, and regardless of who you pay your bill to, the local electricity company supplies the electricity and just charges whoever bills you. They'll just increase those charges, and the increase will eventually appear on customer bills.
No. I feel sorry for the thousands of people who, for one reason or another, rely on Electricity for the basic things like heating, lighting and cooking. Even if you use gas for cooking, you may still be affected if your gas or water company uses an electric pumping station in the area served by the substation. Not to mention all those people losing thousands of pounds worth of food because their fridges/freezers no longer work.
