Brought a cheap FLIR camera out to the fake pine monopole behind the abandoned strip mall last Tuesday. Local municipal board insists it was installed by a regional carrier back in 2018, but their field techs claim they don't own the serial number. What's intersting is the thermal footprint. Base junction box was running at 115 degrees at 3 AM while drawing zero power from grid meters. Either someone ran an underground line to a covert power source, or the city utility company is lying on public audits again. My money is on both.
