Interesting Story, Feel sorry for the worry the installer had, but sure if there had been a full investigation by the authorities they would have come up with a fair conclusion.

Its good to see these type of stories on the forum.

There are some crazy people around. I've seen 2" copper vertical risers slashed in tower blocks just for the metal and left blowing,also ECVs nicked and left blowing and outlet pipe on outside walls nicked with the meter left revving away all night or for quite a while !

Wow that's crazy, he must have been bricking it when he got the call.
I guess more of a reason to take photos of installs and work done in case of incidents like this.
