Location: South Carolina, US. Neighbors brother stabbed our HVAC condenser in 95 degree weather, police not very helpful, $1000+ repair

r/

Location: South Carolina. Our neighbors brother thinks my husband cut his tire Saturday night (I was the last one to bed that night & my husband definitely didn’t go over there.) He doesn’t live with our neighbor, but was there all weekend. He hasn’t been around in over 2 years. He changed the tire next door in the front yard & right before he left, our AC cut off. A technician came out & showed us 3 holes stabbed in our condenser. It is 90-100 degrees & we have children in here. We called the police with the technician here & made a report, but with no witnesses, there’s nothing they can do..?? Any tips on how to proceed?

    You fix the AC and go about your day. You have no proof of who did what.

    1. Fix the AC.

    2. File a suit in small claims court. The bar there is MUCH lower than going the criminal route.

    Take pictures of the holes, plan to file in small claims court. You could have your husband confront him and see if he admits to stabbing the unit- use a mini camera to record.
