I think someone watched 60 Minutes and went copycat.

The 60 Minutes' report mentioned the first known incident occurred in Morgan Hill, CA.

Same setup as Morgan Hill had: chain-linked fence instead of a high solid wall. I used to bicycle around that area when I was a kid.

Every substation I've ever seen has just a chain link fence. They should at least add some privacy barrier so it's not so easy to aim at equipment.
