[SBE] Copper Thefts

[Larry Bloomfield]

Back in the late 90's when I put KBET-AM 1220 KHz on the air in Canyon 
Country, CA, I planted climbing roses on the chain link fences that 
surrounded each of my 3 towers and some other thorny plants in other 
strategic locations. Having lived in the mountains, I was familiar with 
poison oak and poison ivy. It really works, but you'd better be very 
careful when you're planting it as the planting might backfire and get 
you. We never had a problem with copper theft after that and, other than 
the base of the three towers, nothing else was fenced. It was a very 
rural area. Even though the neighbors weren't close, they weren't too 
happy when they found out about it. :)
