I recall seeing where a guy close to here also got killed stealing live wires.

Also the local sheriff solved the mysterious thefts of air conditioning units from a bunch of rural churches. It turned out that they were stealing them just for the copper inside.

I did not actually know there was copper inside an ac unit. It could not have been much. They were going to all that much work just to steal maybe a few dollars worth of copper.

It would be much less work to get a job.

Air conditioning theft, I have had many of my rentals ripped off. Now I have STEEL cages over them, not expensive and much cheaper than the deductable on insurance. There is 1 side that swings out for repairs.

I put 3 very large heavy duty locks on them.

I have seen one business that had their unit very high up on their building,on a platform of some sort.

The metal re-cycling places that buy this, should have stricter quidelines.

Just makes me sick, they steal what maybe no more than $50 worth, that costs over $4000 to replace.
