I hate when people do that. Attach line to other people's lines. When we
found stuff lashed to ours while working on our lines we cut it loose and
let it hang.
We then would call the tower company and inform them that lines were loose.
Always pissed me off since it cost me more money to work on my gear when
someone lashed their crap to it instead properly attaching it to the tower.
