   Air Conditioner theft in Ontario: What's

   Criminals are going nuts in the US stealing any metal they can get their   
   hands on.   
      
   Railroad rails, power lines.  Even stealing cars and getting $200 a ton   
   for them at the junk yard.   
      
   These idiots are causing thousands of dollars in dammage just to get   
   collect few dozen dollars from metal dealers.   
      
   Outside AC units (condenser unit?) are being stolen on a massive scale   
   in parts of the US south.  Homes, churches, commercial properties.   
      
   I'm thinking it might be a good idea to build a cage around the outside   
   AC unit for my small office building and maybe my home as well.   
      
   Does anyone know if theft of AC units (mostly for their copper) is   
   happening on any sort of scale in Ontario at this point?  I'm not   
   hearing too much about this happening here.
