Copper thieves have wrecked the Trail of Lights D:

Oh no!!

If the Trail of Lights was held today, there wouldn't be much twinkle.

"It angers me, it really does," Troy Houtman with the city's Parks and Recreation Department said.

Houtman is angry because someone stole nearly 3 miles of buried power lines at Zilker Park. The lines, made mostly out of copper, are used to power the annual holiday light show. (...)

Now, they just need to find a way to come up with the almost $100,000 it will take to replace the stolen copper.

"We don't have the budget to replace that because that's not an item we typically replace," Houtman said.

This is awful! :(
