Preventing tool theft
How to prevent tool theft at home
When you are finished with your tools, lock them away; a ladder left out can be used to break into your house. Use a good quality padlock or mortice lock on your shed door.
Make sure your shed windows, hinges and hasp fittings are strong and cover windows to obscure the view of contents.
Clearly security mark all valuable tools and consider fitting external motion activated security lighting.
Don’t leave house doors and windows open whilst you’re busy in the garden; an opportunistic thief might take advantage!
Consider defensive planting to prevent anyone coming into your garden (spiky palms and rosa rugosa are quite effective)
