They clearly have his face, problem is he's probably a drug addict and will keep doing stuff like this to feed his habit. It's such a high risk/low reward crime, only a desperate low life would take a risk like this for a few dollars worth of cable

Looks organized to me not a druggie roaming around, see the guy next to the Prius he's the getaway driver. Could simply be a couple of EV haters see people keying Tesla's just because they are Tesla's.

Not very organized if you're being recorded without covering your face. I could put his face through a reverse image search and find out who he is

That theory sounds a bit paranoid, if they were simply vandalizing it would be a lot simpler to damage the cables or the unit and not steal the cable to sell for the metal. It’s theft for profit.

Besides, anyone can clearly see that it’s the dog in back that’s pulling the strings here. She’s the mastermind.

well it's not a tesla supercharger so there's that dent in your theory. i thought it was ironic that the car is a prius which has a hybrid battery at least.
i've no doubt they're just stealing cables for some quick cash to feed their habits.

horrible people... need treatment and some prison time to 'reflect'. being seattle though, won't happen.

No it goes to pattern of behaviour, vandalizing because of EV hate Tesla's being keyed is another example of this just as is cutting charging cables. FYI people have also been cutting Tesla supercharger cables.

right and they're cutting cables to make money from selling the metal. no different than the rampant theft of catalytic converters and a/c coils which are not driven by some hatred against ice cars and building cooling.

Catalytic converters are worth vastly more than power cables the incentive is much higher. You're not very good at pattern recognition maybe this will help.
