Thats what I'm thinking too....113,000 in copper and batteries would have to amount to a heluva lot of copper and lead.

They don't go by the scrap value of the metal. 40 batteries at lets say $50-70 a piece is $2000-3000. And 3 Industrial Air Conditioners could be 30,000 each but I doubt it.

These owners of buildings know the cops won't catch anyone so they file for insurance money.

Its compressors , not air conditioners... have you ever priced an industrial compressor? They can range in the 10k to the 70k mark assuming they meant industrial air compressors.... i do agree it sounds fishy though

the point is that it was a theft, and the criminal should suffer when he gets caught....im sure the thief has gotten away with other crimes so that this will even out in the long run on his part provided he gets caught.
