I am like you, they swapped something out. Same year or generation? Are parts swappable on the two according to websites? 5 hours is enough time to exchange parts. Be a sleuth and see if their A/C is now working and get some info on what they replaced and see if it looks used...did they swap the compressors? Do you have fresh AC oil on your compressor or finger marks of grease? See if your system has a charge. Push the schrader valve a quick second to see. They probably didn't bother to recharge yours.

AC systems can just stop working. I had one that was blowing at 38 degrees one day and the next it was 100+. In was in my possession during this time. Did they steal your relay for the compressor clutch? Pressure switch? Anything unplugged? Missing fuse or relay in box. Keep in mind that all slots are not used on all models. Pull up diagram for your model on google.
