VANCOUVER, British Columbia (Reuters) - A man was recovering in a Vancouver-area hospital on Tuesday after his apparent attempt to steal a roll of copper wire ended up giving him a 27,000-volt electrical shock. The man was found on Monday wandering in a Surrey, British Columbia, railroad yard with second degree burns but without his shoes, which police said had been blown off when he tried to disconnect the wire from a running generator. Investigators said the 41-year-old man, whose name was not released but was already "well known" to police, was expected to recover from his injuries and faced several criminal charges.
