Alleged cable thief skinned off while trying to steal cables

It sounds like the alleged cable thief got a bit more than they bargained for!

It's not uncommon for thieves to get caught up in their own mischief, and it seems like this individual took things a bit too far. I'm guessing they didn't quite plan on getting "skinned" off in the process!

Can you tell me more about what happened? Was it a particularly valuable or high-stakes cable they were trying to steal? And did they get away with anything, or did they get caught in the act?
