There was a $1000 air conditioning condensor sitting right in front of them. It would have been easier and quicker to steal.

3/0 copper is about 1/2 lb per foot. 120 feet = 60 lbs. Kitco says $3.50.lb for ingot. I expect they get about $1/lb. They also hit the unit 2 doors down. That has to be nearly 100 foot run. So 120 from me and 400 feet from the other guy, maybe 500 total feet. Maybe they got $250, or less.

Probably less, since the cops are watching for this kind of thing. I bet it is going to cost me $`000 to get it repaired. And the unit 2 down will be much more expensive.
