Several times I have been offered "left over" stock that still has the address it was stolen from written on it. To combat this I've done a couple of things;1) Permanently label everything! Doesn't really do much good but I spray paint all materials that I can with a special color. Twice I've had city inspectors catch the materials being used elsewhere and give me a heads up. The word has gotten around and it helps keep the subs from walking off with too much.2) Even small residential projects should have a security system in place before the first sub shows. I include cameras and time/ID log entry devices. Not only does this cut down on materials walking off, but it cuts the subs time significantly. Being billed for time when people were not working far outways any theft of materials.It still sucks, and you're probably right that it was a neighbor, an even more frustrating situation.</blockquote>
