A Herriman, Utah paper reports that a recent vandalism incident cost them $100,000 in damages. I don’t believe this estimate covers the costs of repairs and lost work due to the vandalism.

What astounds me is that this is the 5th incident that this Utah construction company has experienced.

You should have theft and vandalism prevention methods in place at the start of every job. But if you don’t, you should be increasing your security AFTER your first job site hit. Letting things go just gets more and more costly…

A local newspaper interviewed the driver of an articulated hauler from the site. Here’s the quote that highlights the specific vandalism damage:

“They were smashing trees down there at the bottom,” Perry said, pointing at a clump of 25 knocked over juniper trees. Perry says the vandals smashed in the front of his hauler by hitting the trees. “The hood was all crinkled I had to straighten that out.” The vandals didn’t stop there. They took a front loader and went looking for more mischief. A huge boulder now rests on top of a track hoe, more of the vandal’s handiwork. Also in their path of destruction, a road grader, found flipped on its side with the help of that same front loader. “They lifted it up underneath the tires and tipped it right over,” Perry said.
