Happened to us a couple years ago too. A tower site that's at the end of a 30mile "trail" with one way in, one way out. They were on the same tower but got kicked off. They took our backhaul dishes which were on the bottom of the tower and must've either hid somewhere, or drove really really fast. We never saw or caught them. They put their "property of" sticker over ours and claimed they were theirs.
