The Verifier - Theft Detection

Theft Detection

In October 2005, building owner Mike Laub, of The Realty Group, became the first person to use The Verifier to detect a heating oil theft in progress. The Verifier alerted his management company that the wrong quantity of oil had been delivered and later detected the driver trying to “undo the crime” by pouring hundreds of gallons into the building’s tank at 2 AM. Verifier technology is precise enough to double-check delivery truck tickets and meter readings.

In July 2007, major newspapers throughout the New York Metro area reported on the alleged theft of $75 million of heating oil by two oil transport companies in Brooklyn. This led to increased interest in The Verifier as a theft deterrent device.

Famous quotes containing the word theft:

    Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed. The world in arms is not spending money alone. It is spending the sweat of its labourers, the genius of its scientists, the hopes of its children.
    Dwight D. Eisenhower (1890–1969)
