Top tips to help installers prevent tool theft
» WITH REPORTS OF TOOL THEFT ON the rise , WaterSafe recommends following the guidance set out by Secured by Design , the official police security initiative , to help installers keep tools safe and help police return stolen items .
Kevin Wellman , Director of WaterSafe , says : “ Having tools stolen can be distressing and costly . What ’ s more , thieves will often target the same victims again weeks or months later when the stolen tools have been replaced .
“ Sadly , it can be easy for criminals to sell stolen tools online or at boot fairs , so it ’ s essential all tradespeople follow the steps below to deter would-be criminals , make the tools harder to sell and help the police return them to you if found .
“ I recommend following the five steps below from Secured by Design to keep your van and tools safe .”
• Think before you park – park in welllight areas , ideally with CCTV cameras or visible from where you ’ re working . Parking with the rear or side doors against a wall or railing will help make sure they can ’ t be prised open
• Fit a secure van vault in the rear for expensive power tools – and avoid leaving tools in your van overnight
• Mark your tools using a Secured by Design-recognised forensic marking kit – and register tools which have a serial number on an SBD approved Tool and Asset database
• Install an alarm system , which can send SMS alerts if it detects a potential break-in – and use stickers on your van to warn would-be thieves about the alarm
• Use a GPS tracking system for large or expensive tools – and your van . In April ,
Kent Police discovered £ 1 million worth of stolen tools after tracking down one drill fitted with a tracking device
Doug Skins , Secured by Design , said : “ The impact of thefts like these is not just limited to the cost of replacing the stolen items , as very often the victim cannot work until the tools are replaced , thus suffering even more financial loss and causing considerable disruption to business operations and delays and inconvenience to customers .”
