No, not Greenbacks, Solar Panels! Apperently there has been a rash of Solar Power Panel thefts in Napa Valley California. Napa is not only the United States premeir producer of Red Wines but is also one of the Greenest Counties in the country. Practising sustainable farming as well as using alternative energy to power operations. But according to Wine Spectator magazine someone has taken a liking to the solar farms:
Napa Valley police are on the look ut for environmentally friendly thieves. In late June, someone stole 40 solar panels from Harris Ranch Napa Valley. This was not the first theft of panels from a Napa Winery. Both Honig Vineyard and Winery and ZD Wines have been hit not once but twice in recent months.
The article goes on to mention the average panel is not only bolted into place but also ways 35 pounds, not an easy task, but then again who thought that an entire house could be stripped of copper in minutes!
No suspects have been apprehended in the Napa solar power caper. Go green America! And someone will find a way to steal your power!
