said by steelyken:I work as a maintenance man at an Episcopal church and private school in Indianapolis. We were hit by thieves on three occasions this past winter and lost a total of 19 copper downspouts.
It would have been 20, but one was so full of ice I guess it was too heavy to cart away.
On the last of those three instances they stole some aluminum replacement downspouts too. All of those replaced now are plastic.
They also hit us this summer at a couple of other buildings on the property. Tore apart 3 AC units.
need motion sensors on the AC unit, when the case is breached unauthorized it turns on. mmm 350psi freon law enforcement.
