Attempted wire theft?

 

Thought you may also like to see some pictures from today.  We, as most areas,

 have been having problems because of the price copper has risen to.   Apparently

 some vandals thought they could harvest a working 1500 pair phone line

for the copper last night.  They cut it and hooked on to it with a pickup.

  They pulled some slack down.  They quickly deserted the area when

they snapped 3 poles with power, phone, and cable TV.
