Robbie, I just got two bids on replacing a stolen air cond. unit.

It's the same if you buy a stolen car.

Some of the "horror stories" we've heard from new clients include:Deposits withheld (or stolen) for various reasons.

What liabilities exist for having that information (in the case that it was stolen?)

The copper lines were cut off (stolen).

Unfortunately, About a month into this(this past week) I found a window broken out, and the garage door operator stolen(nothing else as far as I can tell).Questions:What practices do you guys use to make this less likely from happening?

Judge ordered them out, Sheriff was there when their personal items were out, so if there's nothing else to the story don't fret.I had a neighbor stole the copper to one of my rentals in Cook County lol, and then he complained that the water flood that followed the stolen pipes event damaged his house.

I've had two condenser units on two different houses stolen (one was just the copper) in the last few weeks.

I feel better now, although someone did suggest that if someone got a hold of the original grant deed (stolen mail?)
