Any suggestions on how best to secure air condenser units?

My condensers are being stolen from my rentals at an alarming rate. I've started to lose count. Just had another one stolen, and this time the thieves ripped the steel cage right out of the ground! Any suggestions on how this might be prevented or deterred?

@Account Closed couple of random ideas:

1) put the posts in deeper

2) install motion-sensing floodlights

3) Install VERY loud siren also triggered by motion-sensors. Send letters to neighbors warning them you've done this and asking for their assistance to monitor and call you if triggered - but warn them it will take a couple of hours to get someone there to turn siren off. This will motivate neighbors to actually assist you as who wants to listen to siren blaring for hours.
