HVAC Guy Trying to Finish Up

My air-conditioning contractor has been out to put in the vent covers now that the ceilings are painted. He's moving out of state at the end of November, so he'd like to finish up everything before then if he can. He's selling his business, so there will be someone to take up where he leaves off.

Today, he and his successor are at the house doing some electrical hookups to the equipment in the attic. Tomorrow, they plan to install the condenser unit in the back yard. I'm a little leary about having that valuable piece of equipment where anyone can get to when I'm not there. But I do want my original guy to install it if possible, and I don't want to wait until the last minute when something may happen to prevent him from doing it.

Anyway, I'm trying to come up with ideas for how I could secure the unit until I move in. Maybe I'll install tall fence posts around it and space them so that no one could squeeze the unit between them. I thought of a simple chain-link fence, but if the posts aren't close enough, someone could just snip the fence away and carry off the unit.
