Try getting a signal out of a shielded steel box.

And do you think local yobs would ignore a small aerial sticking out of the top of a street cabinet? No, they would have to be raised out of harm's way, and that would require a pole or mast. And that would require planning permission. My background include several years in the Home Office Directorate of Telecommunications, where questions like this were commonplace.
