Habitat for Humanity using Property Armor for A/C Cages

With all the good that Habitat for Humanity does for communities across the nation, it is sad that copper thieves will not give even the most noble of organizations a pass when it comes to making a quick buck. Air conditioners are being stolen without discrimination from all types of dwellings including homes, businesses, hospitals, TV stations, and even law enforcement buildings. “If you are not protected, you are a target” says Robert Michell, who supplies Property Armor security cages for Habitat for Humanity. “Our manufacturing facility is in Florida and we have supplied numerous A/C cages for Habitat for Humanity to places as far away as Kansas City, Missouri and Tulsa, Oklahoma.” Michell added “Most of our customers that have become victims were either unaware that copper theft was a problem, or had knowledge of the situation and assumed it would not happen to them.” The air conditioner cages supplied by Property Armor are shipped to the customer and ready to install.  “This is an ongoing problem where you must calculate the cost of protection verses the cost of replacement. Due to the economy, this problem is not going away, our job is to make sure at least your air conditioner doesn’t go away” You can visit www.propertyarmor.net to educate yourself on the ongoing problem as well as browse through solutions.
