A thief in Germany was charred beyond recognition by a 10,000 volt electric shock when he tried to steal a live copper cable, authorities said Monday.
Police in the western city of Duisburg found the 32-year-old man's blackened remains by a set of cable cutters and pile of non-live cables he had already stolen.
Only because one of his hands survived incineration were officers able to identify the man as German of Kazakh origin.

Cable guy
This is a story so awful that I almost feel bad about making jokes about it. Almost.
Shocking. [rimshot] Anyway, I wonder how they found his body. My guess would be the smell.
