During our difficult economic conditions we have seen and unfortunately will continue to see theft on the rise. The relationship between falling wages and higher unemployment rates has significantly impacted the way we live our lives and conduct our businesses. With no economic bailout in the near future for Rent to Own owners there comes a time when safeguarding your businesses and assets must become a priority. With old school crimes coming back strong, business owners and managers should be aware and prepared to make changes necessary to protect their assets.

Vehicle Theft:
Safeguarding your vehicles and their cargo is a great first step in protecting your businesses. In 2007, a motor vehicle was stolen every 28.8 seconds and the odds for recovering the vehicle was only 12.6% (Federal Bureau of Investigation's (FBI) Uniform Crime Reports).

Missing Inventory:
Inventory theft is one of the oldest crimes in the book. This theft is conducted by adding additional inventory on the truck when making an unscheduled stop to drop off "dump" the merchandise. Inventory theft also occurs after hours if the employee has access to the location. Not having secure monitoring provides opportunities for employee dishonesty, fraud, and financial losses that could put you out of business. It happens in our industry all the time.

Abusing Company Vehicle:
Misusing the company vehicle is one of the most common "theft" related incidents occurring today. The service industry has seen a dramatic increase in overtime hours for jobs which typically did not require overtime. Unnecessary stops for personal reasons have also been occurring on a daily basis due to fuel prices and employee off the job activities.
