Another stolen chipper

[GlobalNewark]

We have just had a Bandit 65xl 6" disc chipper reported stolen in High Wycombe last night from a customer. The chipper is 2009, Yellow and is distinctive in the fact that the fixed discharge has been chopped with a diamond shaped piece of steel added to change the angle.

 

Don't think we will see it again but any help would be greatly appreciated.

You're not having a lot of luck lately!

Over here to hire a machine (of any significance) one (the hirer) needs an insurance in place in case it's stolen, hope the same applies over there.

One of the local farmers was telling me about a chipper theft last night. I'm assuming it's this one although he didn't mention the make.

Am I right in thinking it was from one of the villages just outside of High Wycombe?

Horrible news, sorry to hear it. Will keep my eyes open.

Bad luck there,hope you get it back.

Where do all these chippers end up? are they still working somewhere or are they stripped & sold or scrapped. I have lost count of how many have been stolen this year alone.

 

Has anyone ever got one back?

A couple of months after my Greenmech got nicked in January a friend had a call off the police informing him that they'd recovered his 6'' Entec during a raid on a landscaping company - it had been stolen 5 years previously! It was only 10 miles down the road, had the landscaper's logo and number on it, but otherwise was as-taken (serial numbers in place etc).

I have had reports of various Greenmech machines being offered for sale/seen being towed behind 'dodgy' looking vehicles around Whitchurch (where mine was stolen from). There is a possibility it may still be in the area - I believe most stolen machines are quickly exported either to Ireland or Eastern Europe however.

Incidentally - if anyone hears of a Greenmech 1928 for sale that they believe may be not 100% legit please PM me - I am still offering £1000 for information that leads me back to my machine.
