We had 3 a/c units hit at work a few months back. Just yesterday, a bishop in Argentina that works with us (we publish Catholic books) let us know that there is no point in calling as "they" have stolen the phone lines AGAIN - obviously for the copper. That was in Argentina. So, it seems to be a world-wide phenomenon.

Turns out thieves destroyed 6 AC units from the church the morning before - including three we just had replaced for about $15k. $33k damage this time [$5k deductable]. From talking to the police it seems that is going on a lot around here. One church under construction in our area had 12 units demolished, replaced them, and lost the 12 again 2 days later. We have been trying to come up with good ways to make theft harder, but that is lots of $$ also. I'm thinking a large rattlesnake in each unit might do the trick. A couple of guys with a smoke wrench or a decent cutter can get into about anything. Too bad I don't have any use for 6 compressors . Is that sort of thing going on in the rest of the country also? My guess is that the thieves made @$600 on the scrap copper for all the damage they caused. Bummer.
