At approximately 1:30 a.m. on December 30, 2011, Employee #1, a lineman, was elevated in his truck mounted aerial device making a repair to a high voltage line. An unknown person jumped into his service truck and drove off. After several attempts to kill the engine with his kill switch, the employee lowered his aerial device manually.
