Haven't seen them yet. The van has since turned right out of the alley. But I gave a description. I believe normal procedure of cable companies is not to enter a yard unannounced. These guys were typical of the idiots, oblivious of normal procedures. What dummy walks into a yard, where the house sits in the back. Any American installation guy would know that there are probably big dogs in that yard.

What would be the strategical impetus for these guys to climb the poles in your neighborhood? Are there high value targets nearby? Rather then calling the police, you may want to call the cable and/or power company to ask whether they have employees and/or independant contractors working in the area.

Most utility companies have photo IDs for employees with company LOGO so that people know they are the real thing. I second that recommendation for you to please be careful.
