Last night, cable thieves nicked the overhead power lines that run through our village...Miles of it!
Angry, yes, I was warned because they cut earths, then cut and stole the neutral, damage will be likely to anything that was plugged in, whether it be on or off....
Still now there is a fleet of EDF energy vehicles in the village. I am powered up again now after 16 hours, and the house all tested ok.
But, they said if there is any damage to anything, it's a claim on house insurance that's required.. Is this right?
Does anybody know the rules? It buggered up my Roland U220 that I have done backing tracks on for years, that's the first thing I checked as I was hoping, out of everything, this would be ok....
And I haven't checked everything yet...
stards!

Really not good, Dave. The little so-and-so's have been steadily nicking 640 volt cable from the Undergrounds' open sections over the last year or so. They're obviously getting braver, or stupider....!
I'd get straight on to the insurance people. sooner the better.
