I work along the MML, and have noticed a significant increase in theft or at least attempts to made at pulling cable.
What can/ should be done to prevent this, obviously it's not the hardest of tasks for those who are doing it, and with so much trackside access being unmanned and without CCTV I am out of ideas on how this can be reduced/ stopped!

Trains were delayed or cancelled after cables were taken close to the station on Monday, Thameslink says.

Police investigating the thefts of cables along a railway line, which caused major travel disruption, have made two arrests.
Thameslink said the thefts took place close to Harlington, between Leagrave and Flitwick in Bedfordshire, at about 21:15 GMT on Monday night.
The signalling systems were restored by Network Rail in the early hours and services were "getting back to our planned timetable", it said.
