## Resource

Pasadena’s battling a copper wire theft epidemic that’s wrecking local businesses—think rooftop AC units getting robbed for thousands, forcing places like Sweet Red Peach and Petsadena Animal Hospital to scramble with pricey temp units and ice. Thieves love these easy targets: out of sight, accessible rooftops, and zero security. The city’s rolling out a crackdown: lock down roof access, install steel cages, secure ladders, and deploy motion cameras. If you’ve got a lead on these copper thieves, report it to Pasadena PD—your tip could stop the next heist. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
