That sounds like an urban myth, bus bulbs are hardly likely to be 240v
are they?
But the people stealing them might not be that likely to realise that.
I once worked with a German TV crew making a documentary on a suburban
housing estate in Coventry. Towards the end of the day, their camera
was stolen. It was of no use whatsoever in a domestic situation but
I'm pretty certain that it wasn't stolen to order for TV work! Rather,
someone thought that they'd stumbled on a "big camcorder".......
