Phone burglaries plague Houston HOUSTON (AP) — A series of bur glaries at local businesses has netted the thieves up to $800,000 worth of com mercial telephone equipment, some of which has been easily toted away in a suitcase, police said. The thefts began several months ago and one of the most recent victims is the downtown Houston Public Library, which lost telephone equipment that will cost $40,000 to replace. None of the stolen equipment has been recovered, and no arrests have been made, Houston Police Sgt. Ronnie Bu- chert said. Police also are not sure if the thefts are related. Police Lt. Kenneth Johnson said Mon day that most of the thefts are from office buildings, with the southwest part of Houston being hardest hit. Some of the thefts apparently are by people who simply walk into a building, find the room where telephone equip ment is located, yank out some of the modules and walk away with a suitcase full of costly equipment, Johnson said. “We have one case where someone was on the phone and everything went dead,” he said. Buchert said people need to be aware that office equipment, especially tele phone equipment and computers, is valu able and needs protection. But compa nies often fail to record the serial numbers on equipment, making tracing difficult or impossible. Jack Burns of National Communica tion Resources said there is a good mar ket for used telephone equipment in the Houston area. Modules for the AT&T Merlin system are particularly popular with thieves, he said. The modules are expensive and easy to remove because they simply plug together. “They just have to lift the lid and jerk a module out,” Bums said. Merlin modules, depending on type, cost as much as $300 from AT&T. Used modules cost $150 to $200 from a dealer and perhaps $50 to $60 from a thief, Bums said. People posing as installers have easy access to the rooms where equipment is located, he noted.

The lawsuit, originally filed in 1985 and later amended to include almost 2,000 plaintiffs, was dismissed Monday by State District Judge Gary Sanderson in Beaumont. » Although the one-page ruling said only that it was Sanderson’s opinion that a motion to uismiss the suit should be granted, Houston attorney Benton Musslewhite said he will ask for the judge’s findings of law and conclusions of facts in the case. “The only place these poor people can get justice is in Beaumont, Texas,” Musslewhite said. Musslewhite filed the suit on behalf of plaintiffs who claimed to be victims or survivors of victims of a cloud of toxic gas that escaped from the Union Carbide Chemical plant in Bhopal and killed more than 2,000 people.
