What is your authority in preventing the alleged thefts. Pl. come up with the full facts.

Who are you and what is your authority?
First disclose this fact.
Without authority such visits would be trespass.

Seek Police protection if required and you have not stated full facts

You should have proper authority and protection while inspecting with powers to take steps in case of theft case.

Without all these you may endanger yourself.
