A friend of mine had a rental that suffered a similar fate. All the sinks and toilets were taken or destroyed, the light fixtures were taken, and the walls were axed to get to the copper in the wiring. The furnace and AC were taken with much damage to walls, floors and ceiling to accomplish this. What really made him mad was that the stove was destroyed for the wiring. Probably $2.50 worth of copper that cost him $850.00 to replace. Insurance didn’t touch the damage and the former tenants are long gone. The police laughed at him when he asked if they could help him locate the miscreants.
Exactly why I would never, ever have a rental.
