Copper theft

We have had the copper telephone wires that connect our village to the telephone exchange dug up twice in the last two weeks, the attempted theft has failed on both occasions when the police turned up and on both occasions failed to make an arrest. It has took our phone company a week to repair the phones the first time and three days the second time. apparenelty copper is worth £6000 per tonne and the wire had two tonnes of copper in it. I hope they catch the person soon as its really annoying not having the internet
