My community garden has a nice looking black chain link fence and a pair of locked gates, also video cameras, so theft has been 1 person in the last 2 years; they stole 1 garlic plant, oddly enough, and were caught on film, asked to leave and that is that.
The community shed, with all the tools, is also locked- all the gardeners have the codes to get in, but theft has been naught except I think a squirrel or bunny is sneaking in- it likes to eat some of the tomatoes and cucumbers.
Generally, good fences make good neighbors, though there are those who are determined and those need some rock salt, <smile>.
