Employees at a radio station in Jasper, Alabama, were shocked to report a perplexing crime to the authorities. Upon arriving at work, they were confronted with an unbelievable sight: their 200-foot tall radio tower, situated atop the building, had been stolen, reminiscent of a scene from the movie Despicable Me. Additionally, the building had been vandalized, presumably by the audacious perpetrators responsible for the theft.
Radio station is perplexed by the disappearance of a 200-foot tall radio tower.
Last Friday, on February 2nd, staff discovered the theft when they arrived at the building for cleanup prior to commencing work.
In a Facebook post, radio station WJLX 101.5 FM provided details about the incident.
“We’re making this public before it spreads. We’ve heard of thefts in the area, but this one tops them all,” the post stated.
“This morning, our crew headed to a tower site behind MarJac for early cleanup before further work. Upon arrival, they found the building vandalized and, shockingly, our TWO HUNDRED FOOT TOWER was missing! Every piece of equipment from the building was taken, guy wires to the tower were cut, and somehow they managed to dismantle and remove a 200-foot tower from the property.”
Brett Elmore, the Station General Manager, expressed his disbelief and stated, “I’ve spent the entire weekend trying to make sense of it, but I’m at a loss.”
“I’ve been deeply entrenched in the radio industry my entire life, dedicating 26 years to it professionally. Yet, I’ve never encountered anything quite like this. Witnessing this situation firsthand, I can confidently say, ‘I’ve seen it all now.’
“When [staff] arrived, they contacted me on Friday with shocking news – the tower had vanished. My immediate response was one of disbelief: ‘What do you mean, the tower is gone?’ I couldn’t fathom it. I questioned if they were even in the right location.
“They confirmed the unsettling reality: the tower had disappeared, leaving a chaotic mess of wires in its wake. The impact on our small operation is profound. However, I remain optimistic that we’ll uncover the perpetrators. This is a federal crime, and those responsible will face the consequences. Whatever their motive, it simply won’t be worth it for them.”
