From a recent article in the local paper, Lenawee County, Michigan (find Toledo Ohio, go north one county into Michigan, you are now in Monroe County, turn west, go to next county, which is Lenawee):
"RIDGEWAY TWP. — Thieves removed copper grounding wire and metal plating from a cell phone tower on Pocklington Road, according to the Lenawee County Sheriff’s Department. In a report released Friday, a deputy said a Sprint-Nextel maintenance crew discovered the damage on Thursday. Someone had climbed the 10-foot fence surrounding the tower and pulled copper grounding wires off the tower and radio cabinets and removed assorted steel plates and framing arms. A technician told the deputy the theft could cost the company up to $3,000, including the labor to fix the equipment."
