Storm's optional security stamping is a deterrent to theft.
While protecting cable is a bit more challenging, Storm Copper, a nationwide leader in the manufacture of copper electrical components offers a service that can provide a strong deterrent to theft of other copper components such as ground bars.
Storm offers a stamping service that will imprint your company name, logo, phone number, or a Do Not Recycle message into each ground bar. Thieves will think twice before they spend time dismantling and stealing components that could get them arrested when they try to sell them.
Another deterrent to copper theft is a tinning option that Storm provides. Tin plating conceals the identity of valuable copper components without diminishing its effectiveness, and in the case of outdoor service, prevents corrosion which can degrade a grounding connection. Tin also makes the bars worthless for recycling.
You might also want to consider security bolts. These bolts require a special tool for removal, which makes it difficult, if not impossible for them to be removed by a wrench or pair of pliers. This after-market option is available through Storm Copper Components.
