Three power substation facilities were vandalized in Pierce County, Washington, on Christmas morning, knocking out power to more than 14,000 customers, authorities said.

Two of the break-ins were at Tacoma Public Utilities substations and the third was at a Puget Sound Energy station, according to the sheriff's office in Pierce County, which encompasses Tacoma.

No suspects are in custody, according to the sheriff's office.

"It is unknown if there are any motives or if this was a coordinated attack on the power systems," the sheriff's office said in a statement.

7. Maybe, depending on the location and importance of the substations

Most substations have little security beyond a fence. Upgrading all of them will take time and money.

8. Burglary, not terrorism

CNN story just put up. You can steal hundreds of dollars of copper out of a substation if you know what you’re doing, but one mistake and you would be burned beyond recognition.

11. Or terrorism made to look like burglary, just saying (nt)

13. Time to call in armed security

These terrorists don't care who they hurt by their destroying public utilities.

Our power grid is too important to let this continue.
