A number of years ago I was installing cable tv to a customer's house which involved climbing the utility pole. The pole was wet from the earlier rain. I touched the pole and got a good zap while I was on the ground. I learned from that experience and I gave every pole a smack before laying my hands on it. I got slightly zapped several times over a few years. Each time, I advised the power company and they took care of the problem. I have seen a few utility boxes close to caches and shake my head, there were plenty of other places to put the cache. Accidents DO happen and machinery DOES fail, why tempt it?
