Vandalizing and Theft

We've done about 12 projects and in the past year have dealt with constant theft and vandalizing - condenser being stolen, a whole house of staging furniture being taken, the meter loop of the house  being stolen & causing a host of electrical issues, then a few days later all the wiring being cut and stolen off of the same house.  Doors being kicked in, appliances being stolen.  My friend and mentor has had similar issues -- we've put the condensers in a cage, changed combo codes and locks.  One of the houses took the brunt of this theft and vandalism and resulted in us taking a loss.  It kills our morale - do y'all plan for this, are we the only suckers? How do you plan for this?
