Construction Theft is Expensive and Construction Security Is Not
I still get “sticker shock” every time I see how many dollars worth of value thieves steal from construction sites.
Even the relatively low-value thefts shock me, like this story from Buffalo NY in which thieves netted $2,400 worth of tools. That’s not much in the scheme of things, but the cost of their loss would have gotten them construction security from Pro-Vigil for almost two months.
From the story:
Police said the thief entered the construction site and stole two chop saws, a generator, two circular saws, two nail guns and a wheel barrow.
In Ontario, Canada construction site thieves stole over 15 thousand dollars worth of tools, including “a generator, a sledge hammer, and laser levels.”
These are the folks who become our customers… folks who get hit by thieves and decide they don’t want to have that experience a second time. We just wish we could get on their sites BEFORE they have that first theft but hey, education is expensive.
Construction security doesn’t have to be though…
