SNT continue to work to gather information, not only reduce demand, but help keep our community safe and dealing with local issues.

Theft from vehicles,and sheds,is still a local issue as well as county wide. Power tools being a target therefore we continue to remind the public to remove valuables overnight from works vehicles and not leave anything on display.

SNT also recommend the following :-

Security Mark your Tools and property.

If you take the time to security mark your property, it will protect them against theft and assist the Police to return your property to you if it is stolen and recovered. There are a number of ways of security marking your items, these include:

· Ultra violet (UV) or invisible marking - UV pens put an invisible mark on your property that can only be seen under UV light. · Engraving or etching - Both methods are suitable for many hard surfaces and can be done using an electric engraving tool or hand engraver. · · Forensic marking solutions - These are harmless solutions that contain a unique forensic code (like a fingerprint), making it easy to identify marked items. Firms that provide these marking solutions include: · Smartwater – www.smartwater.com · Selectadna – www.selectadna.co.uk · Applied DNA Sciences - www.adnas.com

Keep an Inventory

We also recommend that you take colour photographs of any valuable or unusual items, paying special attention to distinguishing marks, initials or crests. Photographs should be taken against a plain background and include a ruler to give an idea of size. This assists the Police in press releases and social media to help recover the items.

Make a record of Serial and Model numbers plus anything else that can help identify your tools. Immobilise https://www.immobilise.com/
