And poor homeowners! This is a lovely pond, home to ducks and other waterfowl, a scenic little place very close to my home growing up. I used to go there all the time!
Some extremely thoughtless thieves stole $15 worth of copper from four homes (that's $15 TOTAL) - the lines that run from the homes' furnace oil tank. And because of this, there is MONTHS of work that needs to be done and untold thousands of $$ in cleanup. Furnace oil is in the pond, leeching into the soil, traveling to connecting waterways. It's a huge, huge mess. And I thought people stealing copper from churches was bad...

[EDIT: Oh, and it turns out they've hit local businesses too, same M.O. They HAVE to catch these guys! http://www.cbc.ca/canada/nova-scotia/story/2011/01/27/ns-dartmouth-oil-leaks.html]
