[TowerTalk] Protect the coax against vandals/vigilantes?

[D. Scott MacKenzie]

Pinning coax is so old school - now they simply kill your dog, firebomb your
house or fire assault weapons at your family.

Much more effective.....

Having heard of people having their feedlines "pinned" by vandals or
vigilantes, I had thought that once I installed a tower I would run all
the cables in conduit up to about the 10ft mark.

Now, however, I am thinking of a crank-up tower that folds over at the
4ft. mark. I could run rigid conduit for the first 3ft, then have a
section of flexible conduit for a couple feet (around the hinge), then
several more feet of rigid conduit, but that would protect the cables
only when the tower is extended. When the tower is cranked down, the
cables would be hanging down within reach of anybody on the ground.

Anybody think of a solution?
