AURex 1,995 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 Local radio station WJLX in Jasper hires a local company to go out and clean up. They find the gate open. The door to the building open. All electronics, including the radio transmitter, gone. And the 200 foot radio tower GONE! Police investigating but no clues announced so far. https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/alabama-station-disbelief-200-foot-radio-tower-stolen-rcna137877 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,027 Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 I read that this afternoon. It's crazy that a 200 ft tower can be stolen and no one sees anything. Also seems like Jasper PD not patrolling the way they should. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AURex 1,995 Posted February 10 Author Share Posted February 10 (edited) Thing is, if you are the ordinary person and see a work crew disassembling a radio tower and loading all that stuff on a truck, you'd probably think it was legit. Like, the owner of that stuff decided to pack up and go or whatever. 99.9999999% of people would not know that the tower and equipment belonged to WJLX, and even if they did, would they have thought anything suspicious was going on? I mean, who steals a frigggggin radio tower? And would they even know it was a radio tower? This is one of those things where most everybody just assumes that, whatever is going on, it's legal and fine. Edited February 10 by AURex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
