Sheriff’s investigators have several leads in the vandalism and thefts from 17 rooftop air conditioning units at the former Macclenny Products building in the south city sometime between mid- and late-September. The initial estimate of damage was placed at $236,000.
Police were notified of the crime, which consists mainly of gutting the units of compressors and large copper radiators that bring cash at scrap yards, on September 29 when a property manager discovered large openings in the roof where the units were once positioned.

Imagine sitting in your house or business and slowly starting to feel the temperature reach an uncomfortable level. Your standing in front of the thermostat and realize that that the inside temperature does not match what you have it set for. There’s a problem. What can I check? The filter? Is the thermostat broken? These are questions any normal person would ask in this situation. Now imagine going outside to see if the condenser is running and realize that it is completely gone. Or worse, looking at a carcass of what used to be your air conditioner, ravaged and scattered across the area like a bomb had went off inside it. This is what happens every single day because of air conditioner theft. Continue reading “Air Conditioner Cages: A Smart Decision”

I was recently handed a flyer that had posted at the top of the page “Stop A/C theft 100%“. It also read “GPS it, Don’t Cage it.” The article implied that cages for air conditioners are ugly and for the most part ineffective. It goes on to say how for $200 up front, the A/C unit would be equipped with a “State of the Art” GPS tracking system specifically designed for this. Wait, it gets better. The sellers also claim to have a 15 second response time and “if the cops don’t get there fast enough to catch the thief, we will track the GPS to where the stolen Air Conditioner is and retrieve it for you for an additional recovery fee of $100“. Lets not forget the small $40.00 a month monitoring fee. Are you Serious? Let me give some expert advice to anyone considering this route. Continue reading “GPS for Air Conditioners…Buyer Beware”
