Anyone seen a pressure switch installed near the indoor coil to signal security system of refrigerant to detect that condenser got jacked?

Obvious alarm wire to condensing unit would be all too easy to be pinched to short or cut to open the circuit, but pressure switch located inside that picks up sudden loss of charge would be much harder for the scumbag to defeat.

Seems to me that condensing units are getting jacked even with fences or cages, so rigging up to setup off silent alarm on pressure loss seems like it would be useful.

That works too, but rigging up something only you can understand presents subsequent service problems.

Pressure switch marked "alarm system" and located INDOORS provides clear indication of what it does while still providing good security since scum bag would have to get inside first and past the motion detector alarm or door pry sensor in your garage.
