THE HEFTY PRICE OF CONSTRUCTION SITE THEFT

Conservative estimates indicate the theft of heavy construction equipment costs the construction industry 46 million dollars a year, with between 15 and 20 million dollars of these thefts occurring in the Province of Ontario alone.  Add to these numbers, the costs of material, tool and fuel thefts, project delays and shutdowns, increased insurance premiums and other encumbrances as a result of theft and vandalism at Canadian construction sites and the estimated costs balloon to upwards of 220 million dollars a year.  There is a lucrative black market for construction equipment, tools and materials and organized theft rings are more than happy to take advantage of a lack of site security.
