Default Lock your fences: Thieves stealing AC condensors for scrap

I saw this on a thread on houston imports and on chron.com

People are stealing any source of heavy metal they can find to sell them illegally to scrap yards for cash.

they already tried doing this at work about 2 months ago when it was still hot Whats bad they didn't get anything, they just managed to break two compressors trying to get the coils out So the next day at work we were suffering...

A friend was telling me about a home builder, he said they would come in at night and cut off all the copper piping coming out of the foundation. He had to start leaving just about 1/2 inch sticking out so the plumber could solder on to it. If they cut it off they would have to tear up the foundation to get to the pipe.

That is just pathetic. They need to be shot. There's a little construction lot down my street, and people were opening the cargo crates and stealing supplies. Now they have barbed wire fencing and lights...

Losers.

If anyone broke into my house my two pits would lick them to death. It's my female American Bulldog you have to be careful of. She doesn't like strangers and she's a b!tch...I mean, other than being a female dog, she's...well, you know what I mean.

yea, he collects em. You should have seen the lawn guy come in the backyard one saturday morning. I just woke up and I was standing in my boxers in the backyard while the dog did his thing. Lawn guy opened the gate and walked right in. Remy was waiting for him. Snatched his crotch area and nearly broke the gate trying to rip his nuts off. Turned his work jeans into crotchless panties. lol. Needless to say I had to get another lawn guy. lol. F*cker wouldn't even knock on my front door. He was yellin in the front yard for me to come out. If you're in the house with me, he's much nicer. lol.
