A transmitter site at a local AM station recently had as much of its copper wiring, ground strapping, and cabling stolen as they could without taking the station off the air. It wasn't until the power went down that they discovered the theft, as all the wiring and the emergency generator was missing.
Caused over $100000 worth of damage.
Anyone stupid enough to pull grounding off a live 50KW broadcast transmitter running off of high voltage 3 phase AC deserves a quick visa to hell IMHO.
