Copper theft is totally a thing in Europe too, in many countries.

First country I find by googling is Germany but copper thieves are stealing cables alongside railroad in France, Belgium, etc.

And it is regularly disrupting trains.

These thieves do not care for the community. They do care about fake Luis Vuitton caps (convinced they're highly stylish with their Luis Vuitton caps and Luis Vuitton manpurses) and the latest iPhone though.
