That only works because the people who'd steal your tools would steal them to use themselves.

There's a reason every large facility that provides its own tools has a tool crib where they track who checked out what.

And not just the tools, also the consumables. Endmills and such grow little legs as soon as they're out of the central depot. And that stuff really adds up.
