The unit is 11 y/o and is a package unit so the A/C and heat are in 1 unit. Still very interesting that there are no signs of breaking and entering and the gate is closed and locked. One would have to lock the gate from the inside and the fence itself is not easy to jump. Just seems like a lot of work for a thief. 

Thanks everyone. Most of my properties do have the caged units and we’ll be doing the same with this one. I’ve been torn about filing a claim. Thanks for the advice on that also. I guess I’ll stop suspecting the sellers now 🤣

@Josue Vargas It was some days after the closing 😞. It’s in Alabama. Thank you for the advice. Greatly appreciate everyone’s help. 

Thanks @Rick Albert! And yes very odd and you’re right, would be hard to prove. 😞

@Craig Janet Yes, the outside compressor. I’m not sure of the worth just yet. Here’s a pic. I have a lot of interest in the property so need to act fast but I’ve delayed the potential tenants some to give me some time. I started the claim but will reach out to an attorney before I move forward with it. I forgot that was recommended on here. Thank you!

@Michael NotoYes and it was there 😕. Since their agent never responded to mine I’m going to reach out myself this morning. 

@Russell Brazil Good idea! Thanks Russell!

@Wayne Brooks man! I hate the things some are able to get away with. They’ll get theirs. 

Thank you so much @Scott Mac. It’s not a window unit. 

Hello. The sellers of a property I recently purchased took the AC unit with them after we closed. I couldn't get into the attic without a step ladder but when I return I'll check to see if they took the furnace too. Very disappointing. They were not happy with having to pay for repairs, lower the sales price and up their seller contributions so all fingers point to them. The backyard is completely fenced in and the gate has a latch that locks it into place. There are absolutely no signs of forced entry and the latch is down on the gate which locks it. My realtor reached out to theirs over the weekend and never received a response. I am going to file a police report when I return (I live in another state). The police department told me it's a civil matter (which I figured).

What are your thoughts? Do you think I have enough evidence to take them to court? I've bought several investment properties in the past and have never gone through this. :(
