Hello. We live in a detached house and the side of the house is non accessable as we would have to enter house neighbours garden. We had an aerial installer (not Sky etc) put a cable down the side of the wall (a visting member of their family allowed him acess and we didnt forsee any problem). This cable was for Sky TV. A single black cable was fitted to the wall. We have recently discovered that they have removed and unpinned the cable. We cannot prove this but it is only accessable to them. We had in fact cut the cable ourselves since the installation but as we do not have a good relationship with our neighbours due to horrendous parking issues, we did not approach them to remove it. (We have ongoing issues with them and the police are involved). My question: is the fact they removed the cable (working or not) criminal damage? Many thanks in advance.
