Re: Be prepared when checking a power outage

...for several reasons...and, if your AC compressor has a box by it with a breaker/fuse that can be pulled, you also need to lock that box...when they steal the AC compressor, they use tree branch loppers to cut the freon lines and the electrical lines in about 4 seconds...after turning off the electric...

...if you follow the rule to ALWAYS carry outside your home, and ALWAYS have a light with you if it's dark, so that you can identify a threat...you'll be ahead of the game...
...same trick has been done with the phone/computer lines...any such interruption should put us on high alert as we respond...good reminder...
