[QUOTE="NightShade, post: 3236864, member: 29706"] That sucks. I am surprised they didn't take the kitchen sink while they were at it. Knew someone who had the same issue with a large building in Lawton. Got a lot of stuff that was more expensive. I helped out by staying in the building to keep an eye on things. While I was there nothing went missing and I caught a teenager in the building. I don't think that will be an option for you but a dog on the premises might be a good option. Otherwise get a big job site tool box made up and attach it to the floor or make it so heavy it's nearly impossible to move. Then toss a cheap cell phone in it so that you can track it if it gets moved. Sad to say but the chances of them getting caught is less than ten percent unless you have serial numbers of everything that had one. Even then it's not very high unless they pawned the stuff. Just walking in and saying "Hey, that's mine someone stole it." won't do a lot of good unless you have some sort of proof of ownership. Your other option is to carry in a bunch of fancy tools and show them off while taking them in. Drop a tv in view of the front window as well and then have someone waiting there to deal with a break in. [/QUOTE]
