And most likely a violation of federal statutes for disrupting the communications system (Jeff's)...
But other than targeting the club/company that owns the "offending" station (the one that the RG-58 was connected to) you'd be hard pressed to charge any individual... because in most cases, you have to prove criminal intent on the part of the individual. And without evidence indicating WHO cut the coax and soldered on the RG-58, I don't think there's a District Attorney or State's Attorney who'd touch that case. (I'd think that there's nobody THAT stupid as to come forth and say, "Yep, I did it.") Now if it became a regular occurrence, I'd be inclined to install an ATV camera/videotape recorder and monitor my equipment... to protect my assets AND enhance the possibility of prosecution. (Of course with the requisite signage...)

What was done was criminal damage to property - and if that is a significant length of hardline - it could be FELONY criminal damage to property. I would think that THAT would be the major issue.
