Apparently, things are getting weird at an exponential rate.
I just put on an anti-theft cage over my HVAC cabinet outside of my house.
Maybe I’m just seasoned however this whole thing feels as though it’s whirling out of control. Our whole country seems divided & miserable. For sure, I can understand where some of this comes from. There’s plenty out there that seems identifiably unfair to the folks that are doing their best. I for one, am a rule follower & do the things I’m supposed to do. So it honestly galls me that I have to put a cage over my HVAC equipment just to keep it from being destroyed by thieves! Had someone told me that this would be the case 20 years ago, I would have laughed in their face. But what makes it worse is the fact that thieves are not even stealing crucial heating & cooling equipment. They are really destroying thousands of dollars worth of residential HVAC to get their hands on copper fittings. That’s right, entire HVAC units are torn to bits & left strewn across the yard for handfuls of copper fittings. These thieves are so desperate due to addiction or whatever circumstance that they’re willing to go to these connects for copper fittings. And even then, those thieves are being paid pennies on the dollar for the copper that they steal. Yeah, I just do not get it however I dang sure do not want to have to argument the insurance business to upgrade by residential HVAC either. I know things could get a whole lot worse however I’m sure hoping I’m not around for that.
