And too short-sighted to work out that the hangar is their primary line of defence against thieving scum.
I'd guess a ballpark value of 15K per aircraft.....that would give you £1500 per aircraft, were you to consider 10% to be a reasonable security spend......let's also consider that insurers may well start loading premiums for vulnerable targets Effectively, a security spend is pre-empting that, so you could look on it as an insurance discount , spent up -front..
There is at least one UK manufacturer of sophisticated, bespoke, cutting-edge security systems. Power can be supplied by photocells and battery-storage.
Now, hows about ... the alarm rings your (and other dedicated numbers) phone, gives you a live video AND 2-way Audio feed, simultaneously uploading to remote storage . You watch progress as the intruder enters the field, meanwhile making your own arrangements for interception (I'm told a 12-bore has a powerful deterrence-value.) Plod will invariably announce their progress with "blues and twos" thus scaring -off the crooks and avoiding confrontation....sneaking up and actually catching them appears to be low on the agenda.
As the crooks reach the hangar, you trigger a spray-mist of Ultra-violet smart-water which identifies them and their tools. You tell them to quit and go, but despite being able to accurately describe their dress and what they're doing, they persist. you could trigger the hidden floodlights....instead, you switch on the internal fogging. The burglars open the door and can't see a thing, just a solid wall of fog! Meanwhile, you've been giving a real-time commentary to Mr Plod, who has a detailed description of the opposition, has decided they fancy the odds and are on your case....they turn up and catch the indelibly marked crooks.
All this, and more, are achievable right now. It's down to cost and cost-effectiveness.
Some people attach little value to their possessions and shrug their shoulders on the basis "it's insured".......seldom do you come out clean, but, I'm not one of those sort anyway. I'd prefer to go to bed content to know I'd taken every reasonable practical step to secure my possessions that i'd worked so hard for. YMMMV.
They see the asset as their aircraft not the hangar.
