>>8517 it wouldn't be, but I saved up tons of resources for many weeks, and then wasn't able to use it effectively because insufficient time to strategize. so I just had to dump it with little thought.
before my mom moved here, there were apparently lines laid across the ground in the back yard, on the property rather than on the public alley between the yards. Over time this entire area was overgrown, and the lines were hidden under dense brush. We paid someone to clear the brush on the property, and they shredded at least one hidden line. We identified one as a thin fiber optic line. it was cut after business hours, and the business next door lost internet the next day, possibly due to the cut wires. we don't know the source of the lines; possibly from the business that ran out of this house at one point. otherwise, there's no reason a loose line should have been just laid across the ground on private property.
