I know how to cut those cables from experience. A customer isn't showing up with a battery powered Makita to do it. And they don't know where to cut to do max damage. If they were cutting SLC splice boxes, sure. Not this. IMHO. These cuts indicate knowledge. I may be wrong. @shrug@ -M --- Martin Hannigan hannigan@verisign.com Verisign, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Joshua Brady <somitho@gmail.com> To: Hannigan, Martin <hannigan@verisign.com> CC: wsimpson@greendragon.com <wsimpson@greendragon.com>; nanog@merit.edu <nanog@merit.edu> Sent: Fri Jan 14 19:31:30 2005 Subject: Re: $50,000 reward for Verizon cable cutter Your not giving customers enough credit, your a customer yourself arn't you?

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.
