Copper tubing worth $20,000 was stolen from new air conditioning chiller units that had been delivered to Tamuning Elementary School to be installed over the weekend, stalling the installation and forcing the school system to find additional money to replace the stolen material. The copper tubing was stolen either late Thursday night or early Friday morning after the units had been delivered but before contractors could install them that day while students were not on campus.

- 1. Copper theft stalls schools air-con installation Tuesday December 11, 2007 By Trina A San Agustin Variety News Staff A GRINCH stole the holiday gift to Tamuning Elementary School students, faculty, and staff last week the copper tubes in the new air-conditioning chiller units on campus. The units arrived on island last week and were delivered to the campus Thursday morning, to be installed by contractors the next morning, according to Guam Public School System spokesperson Gerry Cruz. The total value of the stolen material is $20,000. GPSS now has to find money to make up for the stolen material. It took place sometime Thursday night or early Friday morning, said Cruz. They cut the wires to the control unit and stole the copper tubing. Cruz said the units were supposed to be temporarily stored on campus overnight on Thursday as contractors were scheduled to install them on Friday. Friday was a holiday and it would have been easy for contractors to install them while the kids werent on campus, added Cruz.
