The only reason we know they were burned is because of the charred flesh they left behind. Might have been a fatality for all we know. Southern Ohio region in case you’re curious.
Seems like a hard way to make money to me.
The way I’d go about stealing wire is take a high powered rifle and shoot through the wire at some point, on both ends, then just roll it up off the ground after it falls down.
The very idea reminds me of the Twilight Zone Episode http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/An_Occurrence_at_Owl_Creek_Bridge
