Verizon is offering a $50,000 reward for information about several acts of cut cables in the last couple of months. At least three lines were cut in the last week.

With a power saw? Goodness, that sounds noisy in the middle of the night. I'd have thought a low tech ax would do the job. :-) Probably a disgruntled customer, with cable bundles that repair says were supposed to be replaced 12 years ago, but engineering says isn't in the budget (like my SBC/Ameritech neighborhood in Ann Arbor). Sigh, not enough criminal instinct here. -- William Allen Simpson Key fingerprint = 17 40 5E 67 15 6F 31 26 DD 0D B9 9B 6A 15 2C 32
