AC and Copper Theft Issues

[Jordan Bateman]

I've had two condenser units on two different houses stolen (one was just the copper) in the last few weeks. It's very frustrating as you know, and always seems to happen when the house is for sale.

I've read through some comments but just thought I would start a new topic to get some ideas from fellow rehabbers or landlords on ways to prevent theft or vandalism. In my situation, it's specifically been HVAC related, but I've seen all kinds.

Anyone use cameras?

Any comments or ideas are greatly appreciated.
