Who will dime the cable-cut vandal for $100,000?

Nice to see AT&T offering a hefty $100,000 reward for information leading to the arrest and conviction of the criminal(s) who left a swath of California without landline or wired telephone service yesterday.

Makes me wonder how many people know or suspect — right now — who put so many lives in danger and caused such massive disruption. It’s possible the perpetrator acted alone and hasn’t told anyone … but I’m thinking that the chances are better that’s not the case.

How many has he told? And how many have they told? (Yes, I presuming it was a man. Anyone think otherwise?)

If it was done as a lark, it probably seems a lot less funny today. If it was done out of spite, someone’s going to be missing a nose soon.

If you did it, don’t tell me, because I’d rat you out for half that amount.
