CORDOVA, TN (WMC-TV ) - Memphis home designer Ralph Jones is now designing a way to better protect the next air conditioning unit that will sit in an empty spot where two others were swiped.

"We had a new one put in and they stole the same one," Jones said Monday.

The most recent theft happened over the weekend behind the Cordova building Jones owns. It takes four big units to keep the building cool.

"Part of this is that we may lose a tenant over this, and tenants are hard to find now," he said.
