Simple solution. Put a few appreciable voltage lines in the control boxes. Just keep the amps down. Don't want to kill the little bastards; just make 'em think twice. The vandals break in, take one wrong grab and BZZT! Like bugs in a bug zapper...only much more fun to watch.

I've been shocked about a half-dozen times in my life. It has a way of making you not want go near the same setting again.

I think that's a fine idea. And I'm sure they'd like to do it.

But some dumb ass perp will get hurt and then the lawyers will come out of the woodwork.

You WHAT! Intentionally wired the place to get someone???

I guess you'd need some real BIG warning signs and then the locals would complain more about it being an eyesore.

Anyhoo.....all these costs get passed along to us.

Classic bar exam question, criminal law. Of course, though, the perp always dies while trespassing and vandalizing.

(Not the real bar exam answer): Reckless endangerment is the statutory criminal offense of subjecting a person to substantial risk of death or serious injury. Here, placing voltage lines in the control boxes may create a substantial risk that someone could be seriously injured.

But if someone was careless, leaving some broken glass and/or scrap metal around the towers, that could be seen as tortiously negligent. Any injured vandals might even sue the property owner, if too few warning signs were visible. So any broken glass, if unreasonable, should be disposed of according to law.
