Can you hear me laughing from up here?

Was it you stole it?

Hah.

No, there are plenty of americans who make their living from urban
mining.

Urban mining - a term created to describe the uniquely American
phenomena of stealing and stripping anything made of metal from public
and private infrastructure. An activity that is being practiced by
more and more americans as the US reverts to a hunter-gatherer
society caused by economic collapse.

Air conditioners are a favorite target. As illustrated by the OP.

Now can you hear me laughing?

Can you hear me now?

Hey JIMMIE - you realize that what-ever you replace it with, it too
will be stolen at some point...

A water based heat pump will likely be all indoors, so that is very unlikely.
