What's cooler than bein' cool?

This:

Someone entered a vacant house in the 800 block of Scott St. between Feb. 2 and 4 and stole an air conditioner.

While Baltimore isn't quite as cold as Chicago, I can assure you that it gets fairly chilly in the winter. In fact, I have it on good authority that there's snow on the ground in Charm City right now. So who needs an air conditioner in tthe middle of February? Oh, that's right:

The intruder used a cutting tool to remove 70 feet of copper piping. The burglary was reported Monday.

If you read the Sun's Police Blotter long enough, you can spot these things. Every empty house, construction site and junkyard is under the constant threat of pilfering from heroin addicts, who rip out metal (especially relatively lightweight and expensive copper and aluminum) to sell it by the pound to scrap metal dealers, most of whom don't care where it came from. Air conditioners aren't even the worst of it: for a while now, junkies have been stealing light poles:

The poles, which weigh about 250 pounds apiece, have been snatched during the day and in the middle of the night, from two-lane blacktop roads and from parkways with three lanes on either side of grass median strips, in poor areas and in some of the city's most affluent neighborhoods. Left behind are half-foot stubs of metal, with wires that carry 120 volts neatly tied and wrapped in black electric tape.

[...]

For at least a decade, addicts who cash in scrap metal to pay for their next fix have been ripping metal pipes, radiators and wires out of vacant houses, and prying cast-iron security grates and downspouts from buildings.
