When companies think about theft, they often omit items they feel would not be of interest to outsiders. Because of this, they often leave things in accessible areas, expecting that they will not be stolen or tampered with.
A group of junior highschool students recently planted 12 apple trees. Within a few days, 3 of the $100 trees were uprooted and stolen. We can only hope the perpetrators are caught and dealt with appropriately.
While a typical school does not have the resources to protect their student's outdoor projects, corporations should be automatically building mitigating costs into their projects right from the start.
Moral of the story? There is a thief for everything that is left unattended.
