Call an HVAC Tech. or the Police?

[William J. Decker]

The third biggest reported crime, in my area, is stealing the A/C compressor. Just clip 2 lines and the electrical and walk away with a $3,000 item.

I have been seeing this more and more.

the 2nd biggest reported crime is people stealing appliances, marbel countertops and cabinets (and sometimes furnaces and water heater) from upscale empty or forclosed, weatherproofed houses.

Did one, the other day. 4,900 SF that has been sitting vacant for about 3 months. Viking stove, Sub-Zero fridge, marble and cherry cabinets. 3 75 gallon forced draft water heaters, 3 compressors and three furnaces.

Plus 2 whirlpool tubs. Plus 2 50" plasma TVs.

Some advice. If you are going to steal something, steal it from the rich neighborhoods

Go figure.
