The main theme of this paper focuses on how hot tubs increase theft risks because of their value.
Hot tubs have gained popularity and increased in value which makes them appealing targets for thieves.
Hot tubs made of rigid materials are not commonly stolen but inflatable spas face higher risks of theft.
Important Ideas:
Basic property security includes fencing with locked gates and storing tools and ladders.
Thieves can be discouraged from committing thefts through the installation of motion-sensor lighting and CCTV systems. CCTV systems should include remote viewing capabilities together with recording features for maximum effectiveness.
The Data Protection Act requires CCTV operators to follow specific guidelines when they record images of people who extend beyond property lines.
The recovery of stolen hot tubs becomes possible through GPS tracking devices installed discreetly inside the tub. The reporting of theft requires hot tub photos together with serial number documentation.
Hot tub owners should always lock their cover straps when not using the hot tub and should install lockable lids for maximum security during long absences.
Hot tub owners should immediately contact the police after theft and should register their stolen hot tubs on the BISHTA National Hot Tub and Spa Theft Register.
