What worries me is the speed that they manage to nick things at. Ours is always hitch-locked on to the truck and it's easy to assume that because you're nearby working, and it's locked on, that it won't suddenly go walkies. So many times on jobs though we see dodgy looking drop-side Transits doing slow drive-bys. Couple of times we've approached them. A few months back I jumped in my 4x4 and followed one. We try to make our presence known as much as possible and hope that's enough to deter them.

Scumbags!

Because your kits worth money either elsewhere in the country or abroad, some can be stolen to order, a lot of farm machinery is and is being sent to eastern Europe and other places.

 

If you've got it,they want to steal it!

Sorry to hear I'll keep a look out around here .

I would give holyhead docks a ring, maybe ask to speak to port security and do the same for Dublin. I go through those docks once a month and there is always a few chippers sitting about sometimes on the back of 7.5 t or HGV's.

It would worth a go to keep an eye out for it, it amazes me the the amount of stuff that goes missing and never to be seen again.

NFU and Police said most go to Ireland and Poland. I am staggered how much goes through with little real checking of serial details. Ships do not like waiting.

[Mark James]

I see them being shipped in with old farming equipment, the only thing they check is that it's not hanging with dirt.

I would say it will be hid in a shed somewhere awaiting a buyer.

I feel for you mate, that really stinks.

 

There is only so much anyone can do to prevent motivated thieves.

 

But you can make their payoff considerably less.

 

Get a engraver and put your name and number all over the place. Take things apart and put it on the inside of a few places. Put "reward if returned call 555-6584" or whatever. If they think they cant even trust there own kind in not going for easy cash, they wont take your stuff far, and they wont want your stuff again.

 

Weld bits onto big bits of kit, change the colour of certain bits, customize if at all possible. Different wheels, change the chute nozzle slightly. All makes it more likely to get back, the scumbags getting caught or at least making less from it.

Dan, I sent out an APB to the UK dealership network, but as someone else has said, it is probably across the water by now. Sorry but there it is.

 

The punishment does not fit the crime in my opinion.
