WINDBER, Pa. -- Police in Somerset County are trying to figure out how a radio tower went missing in Windber. Police say a group of people had a very thorough plan to get all 120 feet of steel and copper down from the old Windber radio tower.

Police believe the thieves threw cables over the guidelines of the tower and yanked it down with a truck. Police also found cut bolts and torch marks on nearby grass. Police say the tower had to be cut into small pieces in order to get it out of the wooded area, but they can't figure out how they did it without anybody noticing.

"There's probably a half a dozen routes that come in and out of that area. At least 20 four-wheelers and ATV riders go through there a day," said Paint Township Police Chief Rick Skiles.

The thieves also got away with a 300-pound Penelec transformer full of copper.

The radio tower hasn't been used for years, but the family who owns it was in talks with a company to use the tower to bring wireless Internet to Windber.

"There was an Internet company that approached my son. That's all gone now, so what're you going to do? He lost a good bit of money," said Jay Shaffer.

The Shaffer family is offering a $1,000 reward for any information leading to an arrest. The police chief said convicted could face felony charges.

So what are the usual suspects we have here? If one were to ask me, I would have to point my fingers at the ninja-landpirates. They've always been a rowdy crew, and it's not like we haven't seen it coming since they kidnapped Waldo and dressed him in pirate-garb.

Ah yes, Ninja-landpirates. Had those around here, but it was nothing serious.

Well, they set that community back. Thousands of dollars of precious metals stolen and no wifi for a long time.

Why would you have a radio without a fence around it, even if it's not being used? Don't these people know there are copper thieves everywhere?  :|

There was a fence, but they stole that, too.

Why would they? It's not made of copper.

What if I told you the fence was made of gold?

Whether it was or not, ninja-landpirates are indeed very rowdy, and usually have some collateral damage, being the fence in the this case. They're not moronic though; they're smart enough to take the fence with them.

If it wasn't the ninja-landpirates (which I believe it was that plundering crew) then the runner-up suspect would have to be the black bears.

What if it weren't the black bears? Would it be stereotypical chipmunks? Or the Mexican Burrito Theives?

Mexican Burrito Thieves in Windber, Pennsylvania? Have you lost your mind?

It's either the ninja-landpirates or the bears. End of discussion.
