Good! It's thieves like this that ultimately cost jobs,due to falling profits,stolen equipment & lost revenue.Chipped analogue boxes were rife over here as are cloned modems.I've even been threatened with being shot for working at the street cabinet by hoods thinking I was disconnecting people with chipped boxes.
The was a bloke jailed over here around 94 for the same thing,only this idiot was leafleting peoples houses in West Belfast,with hos contact details,the police found out & he was nicked.
