Photograph Yard visitors photo ID???

[Wood wasp]

Something I was mulling over..

 

I have people coming to view bit of heavy equipment I have for sale, it's located at yard which has other equipment on site. Something I was thinking of doing was sending text in morning saying that before coming to yard do you agree to vehicle, person and photo ID being photographed?

 

I'm sure they're genuine but given rate of kit/machine thefts what better way to case a yard than to visit beforehand in daylight.

 

Any thoughts and would you be offended if someone asked that?

^^^^This. Move the plant somewhere else to let people view it.

 

Edit: just seen your reply to Jon.

 

I still wouldn't invite people I didn't know in to my yard.

Anyone genuine wouldnt mind, but regardless some of the genuine ones would maybe think it was more hassle than it was worth and not bother

Fair point Steve but my thinking is that anyone running their own kit would fully understand
