      We haven’t had OUR towers stolen per se, but we have had people strip wires and lightning strike protection stuff from them when the scrap metal prices soared years ago. Most of our towers are close-ish to populated areas, so I doubt it’s worth the risk to hang out for a few hours to dismantle one. I could see someone stealing one of it’s remote enough and given enough time.
