Re: [IRCA] Copper Thieves Knock Cleveland, MO, Stations Off The Air

[mwdxer@xxxxxxxxx (Patrick Martin)]

Sorry to hear this I guess the copper thieves are everywhere. Being a
locksmith, one padlock is tough to cut with bolt cutters are the discus
ones, as no shackle is exposed. You either have to pick those or drill
them if there is no hard-plate in the cylinder. But the thieves probably
would have cut right through the fence then. It is too expensive to hire
an armed guard, so maybe tougher fencing or a seies of fences, or razor
wire. I have noticed driving around stations in OR and WA through the
years, most station tx sites are not protected very well. Maybe armour
around the cooper pies exposed too. But it is a real shame this has to
be done in today's world.
