Guess they are after the scrap copper. Copper = $3.90/pound.
Not sure why they took the whole units though.

That's a huge problem in the city near where I live. Happens all the time.
The other thing they're taking now is catalytic converters. I think they have platinum in them. I may be wrong about that, but I know it's not copper. Some other kind of metal.War National Damn Champions EagleComment

wow, I never knew
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catalyt...onverter_theftDue to the exterior location and the use of valuable precious metals including platinum, palladium, and rhodium, converters are a target for thieves.Comment

people will do anything for moneyComment

yeah couple months ago there was reports on catalytic coverters being stolen from cars. have not heard much of it since. Last thing was people having their snow shovels stolen during the night if they were left out in front of garageComment

Is that an apartment building or a freestanding house?
Sucks either way.
I had someone try to siphon petrol from my car recently when I made the mistake of parking in an "overflow" area of a car park that was out of sight. There was less than $30 worth in there.Comment

In Central America, they say, "Better chain that down, someone may try to 'recycle' it" Gotta love their euphimism for robbing you blind!Comment

damn savages....
how much is that stuff worth anyway? I can't imagine a AC unit sold to a metal recycling place can be worth much more than $10, catalytic converter is probably worth about the same... you have to saw it off, make noise, it's a lot of drama for $10...Custom Software Development, email: woj#at#wojfun#.#com to discuss details or skype: wojl2000 or gchat: wojfun or telegram: wojl2000

Are you going to build some sort of enclosure when the units are replaced?Comment

Around here the thieves were going after the catalytic converters for the precious
metals and I think they were getting between $30 - $50 for each one.
They were targeting Toyota Tundra trucks because they were easy to slide under and
saw them off. Only took a few seconds.Comment

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.Last edited by Jenny S.; 03-27-2008, 10:22 AM.Jenny Seemore

Happens a lot.
It's harder to explore train tunnels in Paris for the same reason:
There has been a gang of copper strippers who hit the live train tunnels and strip them - They can get 25m^3 of copper for each tunnel section.
There are 6 x 750V [but about ~100A] DC lines for the trains - they cut 5 of lines and steal them - the next train that goes through melts / explodes the last cable.
Crazy shit.
Also, when places get abandoned, normally for about a week after, you can't explore them - they're the domain of copper strippers, who are really, really aggressive about their territory. I remember hearing from one that they do 4 - 5 good strip jobs per year and come out w/ a 50 - 60k wage.Comment

I really get pissed when I hear this shit. For all of you boxing fans that is why the world famous Kronk Gym in Detroit is no more. Back in September 2006 some shit bag thieves stole all of the copper pipes that pumped it's water, and Emanuel Steward ended up closing the gym rather than spending all of that money to replace the pipes...Comment
