The manufacturer and supplier, provides essential products that aid with the security of industrial buildings, vehicles and private property in a time much needing protection against theft and vandalism.
The safety of belongings can no longer be dependant on the cautiousness of their owner. Technological security assistance is needed as anyone can be targeted and thieves have adopted new techniques. According to top insurance company Zurich Private Clients, 78 per cent of high-value vehicles are now stolen using the owners' keys. Of these, 83 per cent had their keys stolen during a break-in to their houses.
The Home Office states that although the statistics have fallen, around 340,000 vehicles of a private and business nature are still stolen every year http://www.crimereduction.homeoffice.gov.uk/cti/cti2002.htm.
The drastic need for security has not only risen due to thefts from outside an organization but within the workplace as well. A survey conducted on Workplace theft in February 2004 revealed that 70% of people have stolen key information from work.
The survey revealed that employees felt no guilt in taking information and objects from the work place, especially in the event of their departure. Employees admitted to feeling a sense of ownership over information they have produced and facilities they have used. This was most common in the marketing sector as the survey found that 30% of people had stolen a contact database when they left an employer.
