The AED's were mounted in specially designed locked boxes, mounted on a post in concrete, and directly under a street light. Sadly two night ago a thief cut off the lock and stole one of our AED's. We are very upset that someone would steal a device solely designed to save lives. The cost to the neighborhood for this AED was $1600 and we are at a loss what the value would be to a thief.
They sell for several hundred on Ebay. Unfortunately.
