200 ft. Radio antenna stolen


cant happen without spending a week on site there at a minimum.

there would be at least a 6-10 man work crew, cranes rented and delivered to the site, and about 15 separate 18 wheeler flatbed trucks to load it up and haul it off.

then wherever it went you cant hide it and would be very easy to find by an airplane search.

as others have said, this was an inside job all the way

You should never underestimate a motivated meth head.

I dont think it was the type of tower you are thinking. just a regular galvanized tower. a few meth heads with sawzalls would make quick work of it and easily haul it off with a 16 or 20' trailer.

You're thinking of the wrong type of tower. That is likely an 18 or 24-inch footprint galvanized tower that bolts up in 10-foot sections. They could easily climb, unbolt sections, and have that down in a few hours. Or used one of the guy wires to tie off to a truck and then back it down if they had the laydown room and unbolt sections (or sawzall) even quicker.

I’m pretty sure the tower was located outside.
