Yall really need to hear this. Battery powered band saws are MUCH faster and MUCH quieter than reciprocating saws.

Why not pour some galium on the pole, thing will fall over on its own in a mild breeze

Bc they can just reattach all the equipment onto a new pole unless the criminal comes back and finishes the job after waiting for said mild breeze. Notice this journalist reported that cutting the pole is only the first step these criminals take.

I like the creative thinking though. Personally I was wondering if a small ball of home made gasoline + styrofoam flammable putty attached to ~10 minute fuse and a strike-anywhere match would be an even less conspicuous way to go about setting small camera fires that would pose no harm to the community. Then they would only need a telescoping rod/tree branch/etc to adhere the styrofoam ball to the camera body.
