Nothing new here. 70 years ago, when I was in high school and newly licensed, I was befriended by W8NJL, who was chief of a 5kW daytimer on 1470 kHz a little more than a mile from my home. He had to replace his ground system twice within a year after thieves dug it up. On one of those occasions, he found it for sale on the street not far from the station.
