If they have the tech-savvy to confidently disable the land-line
service, they are probably also operating wireless JAMMING equipment.


A pair of dykes in your back pocket is tech-savvy? Most demarc boxes I
have seen, there is an exposed loop of drop wire or house wire next to
them. One snip, and the landline is dead. Or just take a screwdriver,
open the customer side of the box, and unplug the house wiring. Hand
tools are cheap. Jamming equipment is expensive. If they have the cash
or knowledge to have that in their truck, they probably aren't typical
Quick Cash burglars or kids looking for booze.
