Low-life steals $12k of gifts from 4 weddings; fortunately a guest was able to stop him in 1 of them. Yet another reason to have an assistant...

I just assume everyone is trying to steal my stuff at all times. Guess that comes from living in Philadelphia.

You should have your stuff insured anyway.

Paging Scott V Tagfan:

Wonder if this is the same guy that stole from a wedding that I second shot for you?

With that said, I lock my TT Airport bag with tsa lock and also use the wire lock around a permanent fixture.

Doesn't look like he'll be at one of my weddings for four to eight years.

My car is insured. But easier to lock it and park it in a well-lit area than to file a police report and deal with higher insurance rates.

Anyone who doesn't have insurance and is running any sort of business is a complete bafoon.

A local friend of mine had about $15k in equipment stolen out of her car during a ceremony. Needless to say, insurance is covering it (thank goodness) but the rest of that wedding was a true challenge without any lighting gear.

Lest anyone misunderstand:

I am insured for both liability as well as all-perils loss of $20k of gear.

Nonetheless, for me it is easier to take simple precautions to minimize the possibility of slimeballs like this from "redistributing" my property than to just flippantly say "Oh, he 'needs' money for ___, so let him have it. Insurance will cover it."
