STOLEN Copper Wire

Hi, we had some copper wire stolen from outside out front of the house. I think is our earth cable.
Is it our responsability to fix / replace it? I thought it was the electical board?? :huh:

thanks

thanks WelshPaul, I think I realize what a silly question I asked!:o

if you are saying you have had your external earthing system stolen then it needs to be replaced asap ,

there is a serious electrical risk to all perons living inside your house until its professionally replaced !!

Yes ring your electricity distribution company and get someone out to investigate it as soon as possible.

The 'electricity board' ceased to be around 20 years ago now.
You need to get the earth replaced as a matter of urgency.

And think of some way to stop it being stolen again.
