mtv Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Unlikely to turn up on eBay, but you never know. Not the smartest crooks... hacksawing the heliax when they just needed to unscrew the connector from the PA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrP Posted August 12, 2012 Share Posted August 12, 2012 Disgruntled ex-staffer? Most people wouldn't even be aware of the tx sites locations, let alone what to nick once they were in. Pity they didn't hack through some live power cabling and save everyone the effort of replacing the equipment in the first place. I think there were interested in a quick in / out in case the sites were alarmed hence sawing the cable rather than unscrewing. A power hacksaw would have made pretty quick work of it.

Guest stump_1100 Posted August 15, 2012 Share Posted August 15, 2012 I'm glad they didn't hit the TV broadcast site (this time). There have been issues at sites in that area but the main targets are usually batteries and solar panels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
