We all agree this is a great program. There are two AED units in my neighborhood and we have the trained first responders.
As for theft, I never thought of that when the AED program was brought out to our neighborhood. Outside of the boxes having the hardened steel locks, I can't think of anything else.
A thief would still steal it even if there were some indelible marking on it saying it was NOT TO BE RESOLD or STOLEN PROPERTY. The thief would not be looking for writing as he was stealing and would probably just junk it after seeing the marking - but it would still be gone from the neighborhood.
Is there any insurance policy that the neighborhood group could purchase that would cover the AED's? It would certainly be cheaper than buying new units - if available.
