Some shops the techs have to lock drawers every time they walk away from their bay.
I read that in some places its a real problem.
I find it difficult to believe.
I had to start locking my toolbox at the shop i worked at here in town,boss and his buddys would play in the shop after hours.
Found my 3/4” ratchet stuck in a 6 foot pipe leaning in the corner.
And many occasions my tools left on a bench.
Caught the boss walking over to bench grinder with my 2-3/8” socket. It wouldnt fit in a bore to remove an axle nut. I flipped out on him. Had he asked, i might have let him. No, probably not. I felt the need to be the asshole that time.
Took the 3/4 set home and locked the box,even when i went for lunch.
