All of the above assumes that the perp can read.

In really bad areas of NY City, I used to make a deal with adjoining property owners, and run the phone feeds from the next store over, leaving the original NID all wired up with no live wires in it.

I also used to put a tamper switch inside the cover of the NID, and a sticker that warned the telco tech that the NID was alarmed, and to check in with the sub before opening the NID.
