Copper theft has been a problem here for along time now.Our builders issue a P.O. when we call the police file a report of theft and they submit thier payment to us to the insurance company.With the price of copper now there is sure to be an increase of theft.I have also seen a/c condensor tubing ripped out.Copper piping,Last year I saw an entire house stripped of copper gutters :shock: That was a 2 story house :!:
