Wired

Extra crispy, please:

Police say a man trying to steal copper wire from a vacant building shorted out power to downtown San Bernardino and nearly electrocuted himself, suffering second- and third-degree burns to 45 percent of his body.

"You don't steal live wire," said San Bernardino police Sgt. Brian Koerner.

Sergeant Koerner, I hereby brevet you to the rank of Captain... Captain Obvious!

"Pretty much when the power went out, if your desk didn't have an emergency power hookup, your day was finished because it was just dark," [County Administrative Officer Mark Uffer] said.

And Mr. Uffer can be your faithful sidekick, Lieutenant Didactic.
