It’s taxing to fathom just how desperate some people can be.
But there are a ton of people in our civilization who are just so desperate.
Often, that comes with socioeconomic factors they had no control over. And there other circumstances like addiction as well as mental health problems that drive people to do desperate things… Lately, some of those folks have been targeting the Heating as well as A/C component outside of residential homes. This is very much of the smash as well as grab sort of burglary. But it’s happening nonetheless. Thieves are absolutely ripping apart the Heating as well as A/C component that sits alongside the house. This is the Heating as well as A/C component that sits inside a cabinet as well as is part of the heat pump system. There are thousands of dollars worth of valuable Heating as well as A/C components inside these cabinets. When I first heard about this sort of theft, I thought perhaps they were pulling out compressors or other such Heating as well as A/C equipment. But that has not the case at all. Instead, they’re destroying all of that Heating as well as A/C component simply to get their hands on a small amount of copper. Heating as well as A/C component comes with lots of small copper fittings as well as other copper tubing. These Heating as well as A/C component thieves simply rip apart the Heating as well as A/C cabinet in order to get their hands on that little bit of copper. Then they get ripped off by unscrupulous customers who spend my savings them pennies on the dollar. While I feel for these folks, I’ve taken steps to secure my Heating as well as A/C equipment. I now have a reinforced steel cage that fits over the Heating as well as A/C cabinet as well as locks down to the concrete pad underneath.
