Garden Tool Theft Is Rising: What Can You Do About It?

by Lyndon Ogden

Tool theft is on the rise at the same time as gardening has been rising in popularity, the recession has bitten hard and more people have decided to grow their own produce to money. At the same time that obviously means that people invest in sometimes very pricey tools usually with little security protecting them. No prises for guessing what that's led to an increase in a rise to then, yep, that's right, Tool Theft is on the rise, what can you do about it?

So lets imagine you've spent a good couple of hundred on all the tools to get your new garden off to a flying start so it can start producing you the home grown food you desire, but you're just leaving your tools inside that old rickety shed of yours leaves them open to theft from anybody who feels like it.

When a thief breaks into your shed, he'll either sell the tools on the after market, or he'll use them to break into your home and steal your most valuable possesions which are likely going to cost much more than the a trip down to the local hardware store. That's why I recommend metal garden sheds as an alternative to wood, they're tough, waterproof and exceedingly hard to break into without doing serious damage to yourself. Not to mention the amount of money you'll save due to it's long lasting nature, they won't be worn down by the everyday elements like wooden sheds, meaning your tools and lifestyle is safe.
