Photograph machinery and tools, keep a record of serial numbers and colours. Mark the property with a unique identifiable mark in both an obvious and secret location. (2) Restrict access to your farmyard, install gates and fix them to sturdy concrete or metal posts. Keep them locked and consider appropriate signing such as ‘Private Property’.
