Tools and equipment are expensive and hard to replace. A few habits keep them where they belong.

Lock it up

Use quality padlocks on barns, sheds and tool boxes.

Add motion lights

Lighting around outbuildings makes the property easier to watch.

Record serial numbers

Photograph equipment and keep a list of serial numbers.

Don't leave keys in vehicles

Keep keys for trucks, tractors and ATVs inside the house.

Neighbors help neighbors

Let nearby friends know when you'll be away.

A secure property means more time enjoying it and less time worrying.
