Somebody stole the church's outside air-conditioning unit. Just backed up to the church, removed the big unit, and hauled it away. Probably gonna tear it apart for the copper and aluminum. Swell. At least we're not exactly using it right now.
I guess a lot of this is happening. I'm sure that the scrap metal dealers, when they receive materials from air-conditioners, have no idea whatsoever that it might be stolen stuff.
Career-wise, I've been hanging around and writing about and cheering on churches and pastors for the past 25 years as my denomination's Communications Director.
Ha, Ha! "no idea whatsoever...", very funny!
