Should Wires Be Live

Somebody stole my audio deck, and cut the wires. I want to get a wiring harness so that I can have a connector and install a new deck, however there are no sparks coming from my cut wires. My friends got stolen also, but his wires would spark. I tried to connect all the copper ends and couldnt get any sparks. Does this mean there is no more power going into the wires, and if so, what should I do?

it probably blew the fuses to the power wires
