The joys of cable theft. Or not.

Dear Albuquerquians: (X Posted to the Albuquerque community)

Has anyone:

a) Had issues with neighbors stealing your cable.

b) Been able to actually get them nailed for it somehow?

Our neighbors (and we've seen them do this) cut the lock on the cable amp in our yard, and split the signal. This happens.. oh... anywhere from once a month to twice a week. Causes our nice internet connection to drop out about every 10 minutes. Real fun when you are raiding in certain MMOs. Or browsing. Or checking my bank statements. Or posting things like this. Screws up the TV signal two, causing freezing/pixelating on TiVo'd shows.

Yes. Adults are stealing cable from college students. Pitiful? Ironic?

This has been going on for a year and a half.

Suggestions? Comcast has been useless so far. Though, they do have a supervisor coming to our house this Sunday... should be amusing.
