And where do they dispose of the cable?There must be some dodgy scrap metal dealers around.Surely the Police can solve this? It cant be easy to carry 2 Kilometers of cable around, then find someone willing to buy it, with out someone seeing it.Whats the odds our police force never solve this case?Anyone willing to have a bet?
