This upcoming July, I will be operating a fireworks stand that historically has had problems with criminals attempting to break into it. In fact, every year the stand has been in existence sometimes has attempted to break into it, sometimes successfully. It is a dual stand with quite a bit of expensive inventory, so I'm asking for the best way(s) to deter crime. It is located in an area filled with gated communities and high priced homes yet has no electrical post so a generator will be provided. The stands have bright flashing lights on top that stay lit throughout the night. There are no perimeter fences and has only one driveway access point. I typically park my vehicles against the doors of the stand at nighttime, so the doors are not accessible, but I don't think that's enough of a deterrent. Although there will always be someone present at the stand, that doesn't deter criminals. Ideas?
Threat of polic apprehension is no longer a deterrent Security cameras and alarms are not a deterrent ... dogs?
Back in high school a friend worked a fireworks stand. For security, employees slept in the stand on a rotating schedule
On Telephone Road back in the 70's if you could conquer the fireworks stand by force you became the new owner. Has that changed?
