Default Securing TE to the bench?

Hi Dave,

This is my business workbench/equipment in my home. Some homes have been
burglarized recently: smash a door glass, open the door, march the proceeds
out to the driveway (where a van has been waiting with rear doors right up
against the house) and load up everything.


Wouldn't they also take the *bench*? (as has happened here, recently,
with homes being "cleaned out").

Perhaps a wiser approach might be to affix a sticker to each piece
of kit offering a reward for its return! Then, if it ends up in a
pawn shop, etc. SOMEONE has an incentive to contact you.

Often, just having contact information on the item can result in
a friendly call...

OTOH, if they feel inclined to take your OBVIOUSLY VALUABLE (why else
would it be so effectively SECURED?) equipment, it is unlikely that
they will take extra precautions to *protect* it as they try to
remove it (they probably wouldn't know HOW to "be careful" with it).
So, any recovery would likely be of DAMAGED kit!
