Take special care during times best suited for pilferage - 30 minutes just after opening, during lunch hours, and before closing - when there is a maximum movement of personnel and absence from work areas and offices.

Check wastebaskets at the end of the day to see if any equipment or other valuables may have been secreted for later removal.  Collusion between employees and service personnel is a common method of theft.

Recording serial numbers can aid police in recovering property in the event of loss or theft.
