Amid reports of two stolen A/C units from a vacant Hidden Valley home, a reader pointed their InMaricopa Bat-Signal into the sky, asking for the deets.

What followed was a mix of real police response and borderline slapstick security photos. On Nextdoor, a user reported that two men and a woman may have removed mini-split air conditioners from a home. In the photos, one man is glaring straight into the camera, and another is caught mid-shimmy along a wall. Think Ocean’s 3 but it was shot on a Ring doorbell.

Pinal County Sheriff’s deputies did respond Saturday to the vacant home near Ralston and Wildwood Roads around 8 p.m., according to department spokesperson Sam Salzwedel. He confirmed a man reported that two air conditioning units had been stolen.

“The theft may have happened up to two weeks ago,” Salzwedel told us today. “The case is still open, and no arrests have been made.”

While it’s easy for incidents like this to stir up concern — especially when security cam screenshots are involved — this taps into a bigger conversation already happening in Hidden Valley. Just last month, Pinal County Sheriff Ross Teeple met with residents at IHOP in Maricopa to address rising anxiety about property crime in the area.

Their message: Hidden Valley isn’t as lawless as people think.

PCSO says crime stats don’t back up the area’s reputation and that deputies do patrol the region (Salzwedel said this week that it’s “an unknown number of deputies” when we interviewed him for a different story). That meeting was part of an effort to show that while incidents like this do occur, they aren’t the norm.
