Tower sites almost always have combination locks not keys, and the tower 
leasing companies often use the same combination everywhere.  They may have 
multiple locks like one for Sprint one for Verizon one for the electric company 
etc. but I’ll bet those are the same across the network also.  I’ve even 
encountered different tower leasing companies that use the same combination.

 

I’ve never had access to a cell company shelter, but what do you want to bet 
those don’t have unique combinations either.

 

Also most towers have a sign saying it has security cameras.  Many don’t have 
cameras, just a sign.

 

Most of the people accessing cell sites seem to be contractors, from the crews 
that install the equipment to the guys maintaining the HVAC and generators and 
filters and bait stations and cutting the grass and spraying Roundup to keep 
the weeds down.  Many people know the combinations.

You cant stop a thief with the keys. But I bet some bureaucrat somewhere pushes 
a bill to "make sure this can never happen again" that will ultimately make 
things worse.

At least this wasn't a copper thief, those guys destroy everything, this is 
just a matter of a router drop and dumping a backup config, easy peasy. 

I'm surprised bigger companies dont have cameras
