My dad worked construction all his life and that was exactly what he concluded after getting some of his very expensive tools stolen. He'd buy a new skilsaw, for example, at the start of a job and throw it away at the end. Next job would start with a new saw with a nice new blade. He as just telling me last week about a $600 planner that got stolen out of his truck years ago. He's moved it into the cab and covered it up and they still came looking for it, didn't even damage the truck jimmying the door.
