I was really glad I had a "new" camera from eBay with me for testing. It was unusual that I had it along but I think I should change that and make it a habit to bring one on service calls in the future.
I appreciate all the comments; nobody else could relate to this like you guys do. Hmm, I wonder if the miscreant is in the Group, reading about what we think of him... The site manager was there when we arrived, and pointed it out to us. Unfortunately, the owner only cares about collecting the rent, so it's pretty hard to get kicked out. Other than end over end, I mean. :) Although my original message may seem to imply otherwise, we don't really think the guy who hijacked the antenna is the same person who cut the coax. But it's still a really sleazy thing to do, as well as at least slightly criminal (theft by conversion). We also had an antenna stolen at the same site. It was 12" of house wire and a PL-259 connector screwed into a bulkhed connector going through the top of the cabinet. Clearly no one would need such a thing or find any value in it; it was easy to take so it disappeared. This is indicative of the caliber of person attracted by a certain notorious repeater group here in Southern California. They've been thrown out of every other site around, and they've finally landed in ours. If we don't get some support from the owner, they may end up in there alone. There are certainly other places we could be.
