Re: Permanent hire gear stolen who does what?Lisa,Camera's, locks and security are only the first line of defense for an installed system. When I had systems installed in shady bars, I made sure that everything valuable was flown, bolted to the floor with stripped bolt heads or rigged in such a way that the only way to get it out would be to rent a plasma cutter and a genie lift (which is exactly what I did when said bar went out of business). Many people tried to mess with my system, one of them may have been the owner just before he went bankrupt, but the bottom line was that it simply required too many tools and too much labor to steal the system--so it remained intact. When you go out and repurchase all of your equipment to make money, just remember that anyone is potentially a criminal. And most criminals are lazy, looking for the easy score. For truly sadistic sound company owners, epoxying hidden razor blades to your speaker handles also works well.
