Thought this be interested... glad my area doesn't use wireless loop detectors.

I'd imagine that is very low risk regardless. The in ground loop detectors are subject to vandalism as well, albeit not wireless.... Its vandalism that likely won't cause any real safety issues. Lots of ways to do damage like that.

I'll also add that I have seen some people have come up with interesting ways to purposely leave the wired sensors triggered.
