Great stories, Bruce. And so true. Most of the time, people do stuff like this just because they can; out of petty mean-ness.
But some areas of the country are facing hard times. Stealing copper (and anything else not nailed down) to sell for scrap is rather common.
Luckily, both types of people represent a pretty small fraction of society. But they are still out there. The more often your EV sits unattended in a place where lots of people see it, the more likely you will get "hit" by one of them.
I wonder if there's an easy/affordable way to put your own security camera on your EV, so at least you have a record of who did it? That could work well in an apartment building situation, to learn which of your "friendly neighbors" is unplugging your EV.
