Gez... If its transmission line, doesn't that come in 20 foot sections? And no one saw nothing.
It reminds me of the idiots who decided to try to make off with part of the Catlettsburg PD's new tower, in a compact pickup, with 15 feet of tower hanging off the back of the truck, sparks flying everywhere, and the WTCR chief engineer in hot pursuit.
