value. If my house burnt down any ALUG equipment would have to be considered
a right off. I would not be using them (having more modern kit myself) so
they would not constitute a threat or be liable to set fire to my home. As
for theft they shouldn't pose any additional risk if their location is not
openly publicised.
If the equipment donated was more modern then the group would have to
consider insurance and some splitting of cost might be needed. But I think
if it gets to that then it may be too much of a hassle.
What you say has other implications, as even with limited value these things
can 'disappear' at meetings, especially in city venues. As they are not
personal property they are less likely to be watched carefully. I thought
applying a coat of bright paint to the case - or maybe painting ALUG in huge
letters on them might do the trick to lessen their theft appeal.
