Interference with interstate commerce is an act of terrorism.  FBI, Homeland 
Security.  Someone might care.

Subject: Re: [AFMUG] tower take down

It was more than 10 years on that property, the company has changed hands 4 
times since I built it(the tower). We're now a utility company and provide 
electric and telecom to a large portion of the county. Two owners back the 
operators were real dicks and stole all the good stuff.  We bought it (the 
wireless company) back and upgraded the service with new stuff and more 
bandwidth.  


But just the same, FCC stickers on telecom equipment always say it's a felony.  
Just wondering if anyone has ever had to file a complaint?  And who to?

  Who owned the tower? Was it clear in the contract? As in that case they 
should have no permission to make any changes to it. Was it fenced in or 
otherwise had real access control?

    Hey, we had a tower agreement that included a 60 day notice.  We found 
    the tower offline on our monitor system and went to investigate.  
    Someone had taken the guts out of the controller and threw them into the 
    weeds in the rain and had started removing the tower.  It was a 3 legged 
    ham-radio tower 34ft model.  The property owner had sent a weirdly 
    worded email just hours before about having her crew rehabilitate our 
    tower.  How successful are the warning stickers about tampering with 
    telecommunications being a felony?  Has anyone ever enforced that?
