Metal thieves steal entire 120-foot radio tower

We hear a lot about copper thieves stealing air-conditioners, transformers and pipes.

But thieves in Somerset County, Pa., went all out to get their metal.

They stole an entire 120-foot radio tower from a remote location. The unused tower had to be cut up and hauled off by the thieves and police can't figure out how they did it without being noticed.  They also stole a transformer full of copper wiring from the tower.

The tower's owners say they were in negotiations with a company to use the tower to provided wireless Internet for the town of Windber and say they've now lost a lot of money from the potential deal.
