17 May 2011 19:14106690Howard it wasnt theft of cable, what was stolen was the telecom switching gear - this is very specialised equipment that your average thieving herbert wouldnt know what to do with. It clearly has been stolen to order and is the latest in a long line of thefts of this type of equipment."Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." - James Dean

two very different things. - 18 May 2011 16:50106786Changing the thread slightly i see vodafone made 9 billion pound profit or something simmilar , so why is it so expensive to make a mobile call ?
