Well now....I get on the forum for the first time and find out there are problems above and below the 49th....

My experience having managed some large industrial installations is that a lot of the shrinkage on-site is insider stuff....(staff)

None-the-less....the added cost of theft only makes it more difficult for the honest contractor to make a living, eh?

In my neck of the woods, generators, drills, and other essential tools seem to walk with regularity.

I can't discount the odd problem with white collar crime either...I visited a summer home of a senior exec and the carpeting was strangely similar to the installation for the board room of the hospital project we were doing.

Any way, just got carried away on the subject

Recently we have had "theft" of a different kind. Counterfeit and/or refurbished breakers from the orient with fake ULC/CSA stickers.....Some are using new boxes with breakers salvaged from fires, demolitions etc.
