Seattle has become a hot spot for the theft of electric vehicle (EV) charging cords, which are rich in copper.
Charging provider Electrify America reported that a single station in Georgetown had more than 50 cables stolen over the past couple years.
In that same amount of time, a different station in University Village criminals nabbed more than 20.
