Thats shocking, where i live about 6 weeks ago the pikeys stole a miles worth of telephone cables from under the ground, early hours of the morning a lorry pulled up with a big drum on the back, ripped them out and wound as much on as they could!! there was a few passes by who saw it but due to them wearing yellow high viz jackets and having a yellow flashing light they thought it was legit, had no phone or broadband for nearly 3 weeks.
