[BC] Attempted Break-In at our Transmitter/Studio Site

[Radiofldude@aol.com]

It appears, sometime late Wednesday night or Early Thursday morning, some  
attmepted to gain access to a gated area of our facility here at WTIR 1300 in  
Cocoa, Florida. 
 
Our gate has two locks on it. One we have a key to and one that Florida  
Power & Light(FPL) has. You don't need both to open the gate, just  one.
 
When walking out to check the mail. one part of our fence was laying on the  
ground. Upon further and clsoer inspection, the chain which the locks were  
attched to was also laying detached and on the ground.
 
Our lock, one of those "masters" with a blue band was still attached to the  
chain. The FPL lock was still locked, attached to the fence. My best  
guess......
 
...is that smeone was goig to try and gain access to our building. They did  
so by cutting the chain and pushing the fence down. However, trying to get 
into  the building via the transmitter hallway, they realized they couldn't and  
left.
 
I notified Florida Power and Light. I also filed a report with the Brevard  
County Sheriff's office and notified our engineer.
 
Just another day on the job...........
