Throughout the country, hard hit economies have seen an uprising of copper thefts, notably from the outdoor air conditioning units of homes. Here in Florida, we aren't numb to the issue. As reports pop up from near and far, a recent report was filed in the Miami Herald about a vacant Florida City home that was stripped of copper.
A thief broke into the vacant house, located at the 700 block of Northwest 13th Terrace, and stole three sinks (valued at $500), an air conditioning unit (valued at $500) and copper pipes valued at $200. In addition to the lost appliances, the damage to the walls incurred from the removal of these items is around $250.
Across the country in cities like Phoenix, thieves are ruthless--stealing from public schools and therefore causing students to sit in class suffering from unbearable heat.
