Apparently a #bitcoin #mining #operation got #caught trying to #steal #gas and creating a #secret #powerplant https://gizmodo.com/a-bitcoin-mining-ope.. A local #pub tried to tap into the #gas #supply where I used to live too - on a *live* gas main pipe! It's only because it happened literally directly outside our house that we were able to stop it. If it wasn't for the risk of #explosion , it would have been better to let them do it and then #report them.
