HVAC condensor stolen
and so our buyers backed out, a 290k house.
This is the second time we have been jacked (last time was a different property) and had a sale fall through. How do you guys handle this?

We prefer to wait and complete condenser install on or after closing day to insure the property is occupied and poses a lower risk of being stolen. We will always complete a cage install if it is built into the contract.
