[QUOTE="Stereophile, post: 461261, member: 1344"] Yup, that's the problem right there. Remember a few years back a few cable thieves died inhaling the fumes from the cables they were burning to get rid of the identification on the sleeves? I had a really hard time feeling sorry for them. Does anyone know how thick these cables are? I remember cables being laid for the building I was working in, and these guys had jacks, block-and-tackles, and big steel rollers to guide the cable. A 30cm piece probably weighed over a kilo, possibly three. It just seems like it shouldn't be that hard to catch the thieves with a small armed reaction team on standby and a rough idea of where the power might have been cut. I obviously don't know what I'm talking about, but it seems like it shouldn't be impossible. On the bright side, it seems the debate is finally settled - cables do make a very obvious difference.
