How To Prevent Construction Site Theft With A Hidden Camera
Theft of construction equipment is a growing problem involving theft of job site throughout the nation, which is estimated to cost construction equipment owners approximately $1 billion annually.
Inadequate site security, lack of standardized product identification numbers and easy to access cabs all make construction equipment an easy mark for thieves who are often part of organized crime rings. Owners need to step up physical security like using hidden cameras and keep good records to prevent costly theft of material and expensive building equipment. Many times equipment and materials are stolen and broken like in a chop shop operation and it’s impossible to identify after the fact what exactly was stolen let alone find out who the perpetrators are. Many times, the thieves are not acting alone but are part of organized crime rings that know when and where to steal equipment.
