"That $200 lock paid for itself the first week. Now I sleep through the night."
From Victim to Victor
John owns Comenay, a family restaurant in New Jersey. After two midnight siphons drained $800 worth of used oil, he invested in heavy duty locking lids and repositioned his tank under a motion-sensor light. The thieves tried once more; security footage shows them giving up after 30 seconds.
The stolen grease would have fetched $300 on the black market, but cost John nearly triple that in lost recycling revenue. Now his tank stays secure, and he shares his footage with neighboring restaurants to help them spot repeat offenders.
