From 'Wepoweryourcar':

EV charging cables are being targeted by thieves selling the copper content for scrap or listing the cables on the second-hand market through platforms such as eBay or Facebook Marketplace.

Electric car manufacturers are aware of the risk of charging cable theft, and most EVs have locking mechanisms to secure the charging cable while the vehicle is charging unattended. However, these mechanisms are not always foolproof.

As such, electric vehicle drivers have been looking for additional methods to prevent their charging cables from being stolen.

Sleep in the car while it's charging with a shotgun on the passenger seat.

But that would be illegal to protect your own property from thieving scumbags  :o
there was a time when stealing was illegal ,police don't bother with that sort of crime anymore though  :(

They like to police 'hurty words' these days. They are very good at it.

 It is even worse in Scotland where the ginger dwarf from the north wanted to make 'hurty words' illegal even in our own homes.

They didn't used to investigate hurty words but, now they've said sorry, it's all ok

All I'd have to say is that I have "mental health issues" and they'd probably let me off lightly, that seems to be the most popular option at present..

Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level & beat you with their experience.
