It's less of a difficulty than you think. I worked at a TV station and our old tower that was in a farmer's field was replaced by one in town and we all watched the tower get knocked down. Took about 2 minutes. Just cut the guide cables and it falls.
The part that took a while was figuring out what to cut in what order so that no one got hurt. But if you're just there to steal it, you're probably a lot less worried about that.
Guy wires, not guide.

They call them that because it's what guys use to erect their radio masts. /j
Yeah well, I'm stupid.
Not stupid, you just learned something new. And learning is always worth celebrating.
