A unit with good stuff taken out doesn't mean something unsavory has taken place. Often times people make payment plans or other things and get let back into the unit. They then clear out the good stuff and either abandon the crap or plan on continuing to pay but fall behind again.
If you see a unit with like 5 locks on the ground this is what has happened. It doesnt mean the owner is stealing stuff just means the people may have taken their good stuff out.
Also, dont assume a box contains the electronics. Personally I throw boxes out right away but my parents have every tv box, computer box, etc they have ever bought.
I bought a unit with a nice 50" Phillips Plasma in the front. Everyone said there was no tv in the box, I guessed there was. Turns out there was. Paid $400 for the unit. Got $500 for the tv and still made a killing on the rest
