❗Mark all of your equipment with a security pen or labels so they are uniquely identifiable. Make sure it’s clear they are marked as a deterrent
❗On larger items such as ride-on mowers, consider installing a GPS tracker
❗Make a list of all your equipment and include photos, make, model, serial numbers, and description of any unique marks or identifies
❗Check if your insurance policy covers theft of lawn equipment
❗Wherever possible, store your equipment in a lockable shed or garage and make sure it is alarmed and covered by CCTV
❗Use a motion-activated floodlight in your yard and the areas surrounding where your equipment is stored
