As someone mentioned above, if they don't actually kill themselves (utility thieves) they can endanger the utility 'system' and the linemen. Hundreds of thousands of utility poles use copper grounds (running up the length of the pole) ...when they remove those, it can cause many problems.

PS: Voltage is in the thousands! We had idiots climb into the bus work in substations! (Poof)
