Your business may be an attractive target for those looking to cash in on the high price of metals. That is exactly what an Ohio greenhouse owner reported to Dave Dyke! He went on to report the business owner lost a large number brass irrigation fittings (still in the original packaging) collected over several years, copper wiring, pipe, and power tools to 3 thieves who broke into the greenhouse during the night. Although the alleged thieves were apprehended the following day, the metals had already been purchased and disposed of by a scrap metal yard (the tools were recovered). Business owners should be reminded that whenever possible, keep these types of items in a secure place. Identifying items with logos or company markings, along with a current equipment inventory, is a good investment of time and money.
