Heads up re. Craigslist

Heads up,
This isn't official, just something I've observed. Thieves, especially those of the copper thief variety, are using addresses posted on "houses for rent" on Craigslist to target houses. Don't put the address on the listing. Don't e-mail reply to any inquiries with an address. Take phone calls and if they block the number, get their info first.

Chris - Recycling for Money ....

I've had both the Furnace and AC Unit stolen from one of my houses in Memphis .... Not fun & Expensive to repair.

We cage our AC units in Memphis (Literally - A cage cemented to the ground) and the thieves straight up broke the cage and took the unit.
