You get about 50-100 bucks for the metal in a $ 3000 AC unit. Its rampant down here too, we even had cases where they pulled copper wire out of the drywall of an unfinished home. Lot's of people are hungry right now, not just druggies. We went from 400 building permits per month down to 6 in our town, which leaves everybody that worked in construction without a job.
AC snatchers do take a high risk down here. Castle Law, plus, where I live people have AK47s and street-sweepers at home. There is a fair chance that you bite the dust for 80 bucks in copper.
