A Bloomberg report says that criminal activity in the oil / gas industry is increasing as the price of oil falls and more oil workers are out of work.
Key excerpt:
"From raw crude sucked from wells to expensive machinery that disappears out the back door, drillers from Texas to Colorado are struggling to stop theft that has only worsened amid the industry’s biggest slowdown in a generation. Losses reached almost $1 billion in 2013 and likely have grown since, according to estimates from the Energy Security Council, an industry trade group in Houston. The situation has been fostered by idled trucks, abandoned drilling sites and tens of thousands of lost jobs."
Anyone seeing anything like this? Will this be a driver for security systems / video surveillance / analytics, etc.?
