AC Heist at Martin Weiss
Here’s the bad news.
Thieves have made off with the air conditioning units at the Martin Weiss Community Center here in Oak Cliff. These no-good-niks cut through cyclone fencing to steal BOTH units: one from each side of the building.
The Martin Weiss Center is a favorite place for folks in our hood: there’s a busy schedule of activities for Seniors, exercise class, after-school activities for kids, and the Center is a voting place. Plus, there’s a swimming pool. You get the idea. The place is always crowded, so the loss of AC affects many of us in the community.
Here’s the good news.
Since the theft of the AC units, the Weight Room isn’t busy.
So, if you don’t mind “Sweatin’ to the Oldies” all by yourself, head to the Weiss Center.
Happens in St. louis a lot. No laws about scrap dealers requiring ID from scruffy people bearing piles of copper..schools, non profits, community centers, churches are all victims. As are vacant houses. And some occupied ones. A family came home from vacation to find their home flooded. Thieves had cut the water lines and removed the pipes…and didn’t bother to run the water off. It is just sickening. Will hope your community center had insurance or can raise funds for a replacement soon. We all know about those Texas summers…HtH…
