Sure, not a problem.   We've changed the site prefix in the meantime, 
but it was an odd find!

Ugh.  Be it air-conditioning units, power cables from the utility or 
generator, or the 100-pair telco cables we have coming into the 
building, we keep a pretty keen eye on the property, and some of us are 
well-armed.   We've done what we can with regard to physically securing 
the property, but you never know when a whacked-out crackhead is going 
to think of something you never would have considered.   So far we 
haven't been targeted.   I pity the fool we catch trying.
