The specific theft pattern hitting %CITY% construction sites
Construction theft in Auburn 95603 follows a predictable pattern. Friday evening through Monday morning is the highest-loss window — sites are dark, supervisors are off, and rolling-stock equipment (skid steers, mini excavators, generators, copper wire, tools) tends to disappear in 4-6 hour windows that fit cleanly between random PD drive-bys. We run construction-site coverage in Placer County as a three-layer program. Daytime: a single drive-by during contractor breaks to verify lock-up of conex boxes and tool trailers. Overnight: three to five randomized tours including a fence-line walk and a generator/wire check (the two most stolen categories in 95603). Weekend: extended coverage windows on Friday and Saturday nights, often with an anchored 02:00-04:00 long-check. We work directly with the general contractor's superintendent and produce a one-page Monday-morning report — what was checked, what was missing, any forced entry attempts, any unauthorized personnel encountered on-site. Rate for a typical commercial construction site in Auburn runs $1,200-$3,800/month depending on size and exposure; rate for a single-family residential build or remodel in 95603 starts at the $15/night mobile patrol base.
