Residents in parts of unincorporated King County said they're isolated
after thieves cut their communication lines 10 days ago, stealing the
copper inside.

CenturyLink lines were cut in Cumberland, with thieves taking the
metal and leaving many households without a landlines or internet
access.

It's an isolated feeling for neighbors like Leland Sutton, who has a
pacemaker.

"Yeah, I feel stranded out here," Sutton said.
