    Oh i'm sure the made up mafia will nip into his garden in the middle of the night, rip it off the wall, stick a tube stuck to a car exhaust through the wall and leave the engine running while selling the part of air con that they have for scrap metal on the black market.

    The fact it is round the back means they aren't likely to be disturbed, see I have thought of every angle

    You are best off taking a brick out (cut the mortar away around it) and then cut the brick to fit and mortar it back in using some expandable foam and the putty they supply to fill in the gaps left over. I would suggest a good SDS drill with a cold chisel attachment to remove the mortar, but don't get too carried away, you will destroy the brick if you do

    Indeed. In a football-style penalty line-up these fellas should conceal the external unit an absolute treat.

    And, at Christmas, they could be dressed to recreate the Nativity scene. Ahhhh.
