Why? they are worthless to steal.

The cables on the other hand.....


Locally, I'm sure that the cables are been stolen because the local
press keep saying that they are worth tens of thousands! Obviously this
is not the scrap value but the cost in labour to replace.

If it is reported that the equipment is "worth" £100K then someone will
attempt to steal it.

Perhaps the theft of solar panels from roofs will be more profitable
than stealing the lead ‚¬
