Awesome job, now Sheriff Thomas ought to make the a$$holes sit in an un air-conditioned cell.

The article only mentions thefts from houses. What about air conditioner thefts from local churches?

This is good but is there anyway we can get some deputies that actually care about there job. Whoever 23 is he is certainly a jerk on the radio.

they are forgiven as they were christian churches. turn the other cheek or put another unit out there so they can steal it again. remember:what would jesus do?

Dont assign your stupidity to Jesus.

Jesus would let Karma handle this one. She would shove that hot air conditioner they just stole up their cold thieving a$$.

Lol. Jesus and karma? I dont remember seeing karma in the Bible. Oh thats right, its Buddhist philosophy.

You mean Jesus never said "what goes around comes around"? If he didn't he should have.

Right on. Ask OJ Simpson. Karma still has a package in the mail to him I think. She is one busy Lady with the crooked judges and all.

Word on the street is it is not dope fiends. This economy has caused such a hurt on the local heating and air contractors that having these units so easily removed is making them rich. But sure, go ahead and blame it on the drug addict or the black man. Who is really getting over, the man who got 30 bucks for your old copper AC coil, or the man that just took your 2 grand for a new AC unit. They prefer business's over residential homes because it is fast money as it take home owners longer to come up with the funds to replace it than companies.

I've heard of whole units being removed from houses that are for sale/foreclosed.

To removed a whole unit, you need HVAC experience.

no all you need is an ax to cut the copper and wire

But there are thefts of entire AC units and not just the copper.

I am talking, the whole damn unit up and gone.

You just need a good cutting tool and a strong back. Period. I'm speaking from experience.

My vacant rental house had the AC unit stolen in just that way. They drove up, cut the lines, picked the unit up and put it in the truck, and left.

They removed the door under the house but couldn't get in under there to remove the rest of the copper.

I would put another rock in the thing if your daughter would give the damn thing back already!!!!!
#5.2.1.1 v smith on 08/26/10 at 08:00 PM

My little sister died of a cocaine overdose at 17. I hope you burn in hell also. Keep your crack pipe comments to your self. Do you think calling someone a cocaine user with no basis is funny.
#5.2.1.1.1.1 v smith on 09/02/10 at 05:53 AM
you should have stopped doing coke with your little sister then maybe she would have straightened up.

That explains why they go undetected. When they go to the scrap yard with a bunch of old units from all the jobs they have done mixed with the stolen coils is does not bring attention to any one. Who better to scrap stolen coils then someone in the business. Just like wire to an electrician and copper pipe to a plumber.
#7 NOT Shelia Tolley on 08/26/10 at 01:55 PM
Are these ac units being beaten or pried apart or are they being careful unscrewed to remove the coils?
#7.1 Sheila Tolley on 08/26/10 at 05:52 PM
Do you work for the Pike County Sheriff department? Don't go shy on me now. I have not signed that book contract yet?
#7.1.1 NOT Shelia Tolley on 08/26/10 at 06:08 PM
No I do not.
#8 unknown on 09/01/10 at 08:16 PM

yall have nothing better to do than to sit here and comment on ppl who are harmless.. thinking they stole for drugs wow think about this ppl have bills that need to be paid. get off your computers and do something more exciting with you lives.
#8.1 Concord Resident on 09/03/10 at 08:00 AM
Harmless? My deductible was $800. You think that didn't do me any harm? Do you think stealing does no harm? Brainless idiot.
#8.1.1 fat bass tard on 09/03/10 at 11:12 AM
