Someone stealing copper from a live electrical panel after breaking into a building is generally not an alcoholic but rather a meth addict.
It’s not the price of copper that is fuelling the theft and vandalism but rather the price of the Meth.

Meth is cheap, that’s why it’s a good drug for the lazy deadbeats of society to obtain, break a few car windows to get the $6-7 for your fix that lasts 12 hours!
The myth that all crime is a product of meth is also bullshit, we have a large entitled group here that seem to feel that they can do whatever they want, steal whatever they want and should never be held accountable. One national retailer recently said Manitoba (Winnipeg) accounts for 40% of all their losses (Manitoba has 4% of Canada’s population), now that’s something to be proud of!
