Quick tip - For Disappearing AC Units

[Lane Patterson]

Durn those thieves who pray on my poor unsuspecting AC units while we are in the middle of a flip or have a vacant rental ! I mean really .... I have had these sorry people rip apart a brand new 1500 dollar unit to get to the 45 dollars worth of copper on the inside.

I recently contacted a iron welder I found in the yellow pages and had him construct an iron metal frame that can be planced aournd the outside unit. The AC unit now looks secure (but I don't bolt it to the ground.. shhhhh).

Then the day before we close on the property I simply have my guys go pick the cage up and move to the next property. I am not saying it will be 100% effective 100% of the time .. but heck it only cost me $250 dollars to have built and so far it has worked out well.

You should plan to place a cage on every property and then actually secure it in place and let your buyer have the protection and security you yourself are looking for. Dont be cheap, its only $250 !!!
