The code for locking caps typically says something like equipment accessible by the general public. So things like equipment on a roof or in someones back yard are not generally considered accessible by the general public.

With the price of refrigerant it's a wonder the copper thieves haven't been stealing the juice too.

Probably would, but they are already going to get high off the copper theft sale money.

Back in 1975 a good friend, huffed r22 one too many times. That was in New London, Ct. He was a good HVACR tech, just a dumb ass.

Funny how the media works I was interviewed and was on TV after the tragedy. I never said brain dead cells. Theres a video but can't find it. 1 hour after interview my cousins from Brampton Canada called me saying it was on TV there
Girl, 12, Dies After Huffing Freon From A/C Unit
“VICTORVILLE, Calif. (KTLA) — It’s called huffing or bagging — a trend among kids and teens looking for a quick high by inhaling a chemical called Freon.
The dangerous practice is being blamed in the death of a 12-year-old girl from Victorville.
Kristal Salcido lived with her grandmother and cousins. The seventh grader found easy access to Freon from the air conditioning units in their backyard.
Kristal inhaled the chemical, later passing out in her grandma’s bathroom.
She was pronounced brain-dead at a local hospital. Her family made the difficult choice to take her off life support four days later.
Her family says there were never warning signs of Kristal’s dangerous behavior.
Friends at Mesa Linda Middle School remember Kristal as kind, vivacious and popular.
Unfortunately, Kristal isn’t alone in participating in this dangerous trend.
According to inhalants.org — an anti-drug website — one in five students has inhaled a chemical to get high by the eighth grade.
The consequences can be brain liver or heart damage and even death, as in Kristal’s case.
Ron Postoian and his sons own an air conditioning company.
Ron says he’s serviced plenty of units where the Freon had suspiciously been used up.
“When you inhale it, it kills your brain cells — that’s all,” Postoian explained.
He says something as simple as installing safety lock caps can prevent access to freon.

Meanwhile, most common refrigerants are nontoxic anyways. The huffers die from asphyxiation. In fact the allergy inhalers still use CFCs, but are being forced to get rid of them by the Montreal protocol. The manufacturers aren't sure what to replace the CFCs with, and the allergy sufferers are being told that they may have to go without.
EDIT: they do have a replacement called HFA, but users are reporting a bad taste and generally don't like it as much.

That would have to be pot. I can't imagine there are that many kids huffing aerosols.

You want a 30 second high? Do whippets like a normal kid.

When faced with the choice between changing one's mind, and proving that there is no need to do so, most tend to get busy on the proof.
