I care about catching up with the latest news on the web when I have some free time, normally I just browse through the latest news to see what’s interesting! In particular, I go over activities, education and home improvement stories.
Last week, this one story I came across under home improvement was baffling to say the least.
It wasn’t much about the nature of the story but rather, the person involved. Carl is quite a reserved introvert, you can never be sure what’s going on through his mind, he lives with his family 2 gates away from us. This afternoon the police were at his door, taking him away. Everyone wondered what’s going on, until his work manager explained it to a few neighbours, then apparently, there was a search warrant issued for his arrest after he stole new heating units from his manager. It wasn’t a one time thing, he has been carrying away heating components and cooling techs for a while. He was found to have stolen a heater, heating system, heat pump, dual fuel plan parts, space oil oil furnaces and zoned heating and A/C plan repair parts. The transition phase between his old manager and the current one left a loophole that he exploited together with his colleague. He was a field specialist performing duct sealing, servicing radiant floors, and A/C plan in general. His arrest inspired me to learn more about air conditioners and understand what a heating and cooling contractor does; Since his arrest, he has not been home in ages, especially since his story appeared in the local news. His family eventually moved out of the neighbourhood out of embarrassment.
