What a Waste

Ugh, stealing HVAC unit is one I have not heard of yet. Unfortunately the criminals will stop at nothing to get a few bucks.

We had a few thefts like this in our county in year's past.  It seems that security cameras and tie-down chains are becoming more common.

Hi Michael.  I can't believe how hard these scrap metal thieves work for so little.

Builders here actually install outdoor appliances last minute.  And employ someone to live on site after the outdoor appliances are installed. 

Good morning Michael. I long for the days when you could leave your keys in your car with the windows down. Enjoy your day!

Damn, it sucks when things like this happen Michael.....big time.

This is a good story to share. One of the risks of vacant homes is that ourside equipment is more likely to be stolen. Sadly, new construction sites are favorite targets.

Hi Michael - I don't think it will be sold for scrap, it's probably stolen and resold by a shady HVAC company. They probably have a customer who needs a new one, and they ordered this one. Unfortunately it happens, and they rarely get caught, because who's going to question an HVAC tech removing the HVAC system?

Great minds... I wrote about this yesterday, only a missing evaporative cooler.

I just sold a VA repo and one of the units was missing and one remained. We couldn't figure out why they didn't take both unless the remaining one was too heavy. It's just plain mean.

Michael, it is such a shame that there are people who do so much harm for so little gain in return.

Wow Michael, is that a new home, and yes what a waste!

Its sad there are people who still from others.....this one is really sad.

Michael I never thought that anyone would steal an HVAC unit.  Guess I have lived a sheltered life.

We have also experienced the theft of both air conditioner and pool equipment from new  homes ready to close.

Good luck and success.

Michael, Jay did an inspection for me a few years ago where we thought that the "new" CAC had been pilfered from a nearby county foreclosure.  Maybe the thief sold it to a flipper.

Good morning TeamCHI - Complete Home Inspections, Inc. ,

Your title says it all..it is such a waste. If only these thieves would concentrate on finding a way to make a living honestly.

Very sad Michael, the world is full of desperate people.

Michael- oh these thieves!  Get a job... a real legitimate one!  When our friend's house burned and they had to move out while it was being rebuilt, Larry suggested that they have the A/C company remove and store their brand new A/ units to protect them from these thieves.

We are seeing theft on many constriction sites. Sad . . . .

Good luck and success.
