Its not uncommon for thieves to steal AC units in Phoenix, for copper, parts, etc. I'm not a very religious person, but I wouldn't be sitting through services that day. And if I was the preacher, I'd make my sermon as short as possible, and cut out all the BS hymns.

The AUTHORITAH is wrong.

I am pretty sure that when they said that the units were 5 tons each. One ton = 12,000 BTU.

They lost 120,000 BTU of cooling capacity, not 10,000 lbs of air conditioner.

No uncommon around here, we had a couple churches hit last weekend.

Hmmm, and who is just down the road? Why it's ... The Cool Church!

They're Baptists, the church is supposed to be sweltering, you can't sing if it ain't hot.

Yeah, probably 5 ton AC capacity units...not 5 tons of weight each.

Hell, it's a church...they can just pray for cool.

Jesus fed 5000 people with 5 loaves of bread and 2 fish, he can certainly cool a church with only one air conditioner.

Not just churches but businesses too. I was hit this winter/spring. Did over 100k of damage for about 500 dollars of copper. Worthless thieves.

Try to absorb a 25k deductible on that.

In NY, scrapyards are required to make a photocopy of the driver's license of the person bringing in scrap metal. Funny... I don't hear about problems with scrap metal being stolen in NY as often as I hear about it in other states. Stupid gubment regulations.
