费城打击公园铜线盗窃 以铝线替换保照明
费城 Parks & Recreation 于 10 月 2 日召开记者会，说明过去一年多起铜线盗窃导致数百盏路灯熄灭，Hunting Park、Bartram's Garden 等地受影响，青少年体育训练被迫在黑暗中进行。市府估算全市维修损失达数百万美元，仅 Bartram's Garden 一处就约 80 万美元。Streets Department 将改用价值仅约铜五分之一的铝线，并加装防盗硬件、将线路移至高处，同时开发异常开启告警软件。市府呼吁居民目击盗窃拨打 911，设施损坏可通过 311 报修，以减少对社区照明与公共安全的影响。
Philadelphia Fights Park Copper Theft with Aluminum Wiring
Philadelphia Parks & Recreation held a press conference on Oct. 2 to address copper wire thefts that knocked out hundreds of streetlights over the past year, affecting Hunting Park, Bartram's Garden and other sites and forcing youth sports to practice in the dark. The city estimates citywide repairs cost millions, including about $800,000 at Bartram's Garden alone. The Streets Department is switching to aluminum cable worth roughly one-fifth of copper, adding anti-theft hardware, moving wiring higher, and developing alert software. Residents are urged to call 911 for theft in progress and use 311 for damaged infrastructure.
