Two ropes dangled from the high voltage transmission line that runs north of Altadena at the top of Risinghill Road. An alert hiker, puzzled and wondering what it might be, reported it to So. Cal. Edison, who sent linemen out to investigate the matter Tuesday morning.
The linemen removed the object, which turned out to be a bolt cutter, jury-rigged to be activated by pulling on the pair of ropes simultaneously. The contraption, obviously, didn't work. The perpetrators, apparently at a loss as to how they might retrieve the device, left it hanging on the wire.
The motive? Possibly sabotage (for whatever reason?) Intending to salvage copper from the downed line? Who knows? Only the perpetrators, and it is doubtful that they will be putting out any ads seeking to recover lost property!
Trail users, keep your eyes peeled and report anything that seems amiss!
