This is an interesting one, when you actually sit down and roughly add up all the various costs of your tools - hand, power and machinery (of course the other accesories *bessey clamps*) - if your anything like me, it will be quite a heavy figure.
It would be interesting to find out what sort of security people have setup, I know some of your probably just have a single padalock and work out of a standard shed - nothing wrong in that by the way, but not very secure by any standards.
Me, I have a proper alarm system fitted - with 2 PIR detectors, 2 magnetic contacts on the window and back door. The back door itself has 2 mortise locks fitted.
The big door is an electric roll-down insulated type, which was a big improvement on the last one
Also, I have PIR lights around the workshop outside - which are good for whe I come in during the dark, but also good security measure.
If you have been clobbered by thiefs - tell us about it, a lesson learnt.
