Well, if you leave building materials or tools right in the open on a building site, you might as well post a sign that says "COME AND GET IT". And the thieves take and don't consider if this material is to be sold as an investment or someones shelter for their family. Folks it is nothing new and happens everywhere. Here in Hawaii, on the mainland and for sure in Oklahoma as we experienced. So either put up a good fence and gate with a dog inside, live on sight while you build or only have tools and materials present while you are there. Now if theives get so brazzen to start entering a finished home, especially occupied, its time to be ready to defend yourselves and to constantly call the police about whats going on. I say "the squeaky wheel gets the grease".
