  • 8 Steps To Deter Construction Equipment Theft - And Get Back What’s Stolen

    Until your company is a victim of equipment theft, it’s probably not on the list of things most contractors worry about.  Yet according to study from National Equipment Register, hundreds of millions of dollars of equipment is stolen each year.
    Insurance provides some protection, but the costs of a theft are considerable: the deductible, the cost of rental equipment to replace the machine in the short term and potential project delays. Down the road there may be higher insurance premiums.
    It’s good to know a few simple steps can protect your company and improve your chances of recovering the stolen asset.

    1. KEEP GOOD RECORDS
    Keeping good records is essential to helping law enforcement recover your equipment. “When you buy a piece of equipment, digitize the paperwork around the purchase and keep a paper file as well. Take photos of the equipment as well as the VIN (Vehicle Identification Number), PIN (Product Identification Number) and or Serial Number (SN) plate.” said Marquez, special agent with the National Insurance Crime Bureau (NICB). This ensures when you report the equipment stolen it will be entered into the Law Enforcement theft databases correctly.


    2. STAMP AND LABEL EQUIPMENT IN MULTIPLE LOCATIONS.
    Kenneth Peters, deputy sheriff in Hunt County, Texas,  believes the best way to mark your equipment is to use etching tools, die stamping or a steel punch to duplicate a unit’s Product Identification Number (PIN) or other serial number in at least two places on the equipment, one obvious and one hidden. Record the location of these numbers. Marquez advises using labels and unique markings to help identify your equipment. “Thieves will have to make an effort to peel labels off or paint over these markings,” said Marquez. “If you make it easy to identify your equipment, you make it easier for law enforcement to do their jobs.
