Empiree: 1. They are not going to steal the electrical pipes... the wires is what they are after... so do not pull your wires yet unless you have a burglary and entry and exit doors installed. Wires/cables are very expensive now and are hot cakes. You can buy your wires now and store them, you don't have to install it until the building is safe to do so. 2. Yes O. "Gbewiri guys" will not unpluck your plumbing pipes either... at least you are not installing the toilet seats now. Yes. You have to worry about them too o. 3. Yes. They can break windows if there is no burglary there now.. but I don't thin anyone will install windows without burglary. You just have to calculate all the lose and be one step ahead of the "Thieves". And they are everywhere, if your Mai-Guard can collude with the thieves. All the above are just advise and are not written in stone. Hajji M. 3 Likes 1 Share |

I experienced cable theft firsthand. The thieves pulled out every single cable in the building - all kablemetal. Compound was fenced and gated and there were habited buildings on two sides, bush on one side and a road in front. In addition to some of the advice here, the sooner you connect to electricity, the better. This way, you may even catch a (roasted) thief. 6 Likes |

bugmenot: I have been on the lookout for the thieves in every site. These guys can pull out all the wires in an 8 flat house in 6 hours. No noise. No troubles. The thieves must have experience, this is not the type of heist carried out by outsiders. You cannot connect electricity too soon unless you hang the fittings. But as soon as you fit switches and sockets, lighting fittings, it becomes very difficult to steal wires. The thieves must have to loosen every screw in and out of every switch or socket before they can free the other end which has been connected to the panel. They might not have the luxury of time to do all these. 6 Likes |

spyder880: This is a secondary advantage of American style wiring style. We staple our wires to our wood framings. No one is removing wires unless they also remove each and every staple

Empiree: Wiring! Wiring!! Wiring!!! Plumbing is bigger in size, heavy, difficult to move and cannot be easily sold Wiring is smaller in size, more expensive per unit size/weight, you need a lot of it, can be easily moved and if you are stubborn like me and decide to even "put marks" on your cables, it can be stripped and you wont even recognise it if placed in front of you and the internal copper can be melted (and re-used) to completely disguise it! Take the advice as given earlier: Buy your wire NOW and store it where it is safe (where you live now or with trusted people in occupied residence) Dont do any wiring until you have put-in Iron Doors on ALL External Exits! Having a "high" Fence and a Gate is a further deterrence, especially in secluded areas. Finally, wiring would cost you more to replace, as the price keeps rising on a weekly basis, at a faster pace compared to Toilet fittings. Lastpage! 1 Like |
