Stealing the Border Barrier
« on: March 22, 2019, 11:34:44 AM »
Mexicans are stealing the concertina wire separating the US and Tijuana and using it to barricade their homes because of the violent Tijuana crime. I think there's irony in there somewhere.

Natives will scavenge what they can that's portable.

When I was in Zimbabwe, local natives were routinely stealing wire from game fences (especially those around Gonarezhou National Park) to make illegal wire snares for trapping game.

We picked up Seabees out of Haiti once, I heard of a Haitian that was shot and killed over stealing a 2x4 from a Haitian military post.

I have heard there are a some countries where international shippers assume the shipping containers will never leave and build that into the cost.
