There are actually periods of time where I just don’t know my country any longer… Or maybe it’s just that so multiple problems that metro areas have dealt with for decades has now reached the rural communities, but the fact that I had to order an anti-theft cage to put of the Heating and A/C device outside my cabin is sort of stunning, and that’s really the only recourse I have… Apparently, there folks out there that are interested in the copper fittings inside residential Heating and A/C equipment.
This is the Heating and A/C lodgeet that sits outside the house, inside that lodgeet, there are thousands of dollars of components including the compressor plus the condenser for the residential Heating and A/C.
In my mind, I would think that the thieves would at least take those parts with them. But instead, they just rip out whatever is in their way in order to get to the copper fittings. This made no sense until I talked with the Heating and A/C professionals. It appears that with the copper fittings, they can really get cash, but with stolen Heating and A/C parts, it’s much harder to find a buyer, and still, the idea of my Heating and A/C unit being destroyed so a thief can make pennies on the dollar from my copper fittings was inadequate. The Heating and A/C professionals were able to get me set up with a website where I could order the cage that will lock down over the Heating and A/C equipment, and like I said, it’s still just so incredible to me that this is what it’s coming to in our community. But I feel this is also sort of the state of our country as well.
