Lessons splessons.
How often would you leave a valuable item in the open with nobody keeping
an eye on it?
I can't think of many places where it would still be there the following
day, even if you wrote."This is the property of..." all over it.
Where the hell can you conduct business these days without encountering
opportunist scumbags?
The more security in protecting yourselves from unwanted pilfering, the
better. Bolt it /strap it/ glue it down if you have to, even so, the place
does not need to look like Fort Knox to be thief unfriendly. Cameras are
also a good deterrent.
I must admit that with all the concern about individuals getting into your
machines and causing damage, the waters have been muddied, there is far
more to worry about with theft and vandalism.
There are ways of tagging even relatively small items that set off alarms
as you leave a premises. Smaller scale of the average shop tagging system.
This would act as a detterent to those opportunists who would walk off
with headphones, mouses, PC's keyboards etc.
It costs about ?0.03 (3p) per tag. The detector equipment (loop) for
entrance points cost about ?1000 - 3000 per door.
