When you run a building site or builders yard with constant comings and goings, it is not surprising things sometimes go astray.  Keeping track of all your tools, machines, equipment and materials can be very difficult in a world where construction companies are being systematically targeted by small-time criminals, often because of poor security. Some in your sector even suffer ingrained employee pilfering from under their noses, with fellow employees turning a blind eye.
