Don’t Be A Victim. Be Prepared! | Hardscape Growth EP42

Replace key locks with combination locks for easier management and immediate security changes, limiting access to only essential personnel.

Implement 'random anti-terrorism measures' by varying security routines on job sites and at the shop to prevent complacency and deter opportunistic thieves.

Engrave, paint, and sticker all equipment, even small tools, with company identifiers. This aids in recovery and makes items less appealing for resale.

Invest in high-quality insurance with replacement cost value for your tools and equipment. Understand your policy's deductibles and coverage, making your agent work for you.

Utilize technology like Apple AirTags for tracking expensive equipment and cellular game cameras for monitoring job sites and your shop, with inexpensive monthly plans.

Build relationships with neighbors and local law enforcement around your shop and job sites. Their awareness and vigilance can be a significant deterrent and aid in recovery.

Maintain a clean, organized job site and shop. This not only projects professionalism but also makes it easier to notice if something is missing and deters thieves looking for easy targets.
