"Unfortunately these items are easy to sell on. Now that we are in spring gardening tools are in great demand and the criminal knows this. Never leave your equipment out in the garden unattended, even for a short time.
"Bring them into your garage or shed and secure them. Construction tools are also easy for a criminal to pick up.
"Consider property marking your tools with your EIRCODE, when using them keep them with you as much as possible. Use good quality security products to protect your tools when not in use."
