TRACTORS, AGRICULTURAL MACHINERY, AND TRAILERS SECURITY

Nothing should be stored or kept in a visible location, except when in use. When vehicles or plant of any sort are kept outside they should be kept locked and the keys kept in your possession or in a locked key cupboard.

PREPARE FOR A LOSS

1 All property must be uniquely marked, photographed and recorded in an asset register that includes serial, chassis and model numbers.

2 Use property marking solutions to uniquely mark all types of property, or Post Code your property in a non visible place and photograph it. Marking solutions: SmartWater -

5 If your property is high value fit a tracking device or a data tracking chip. Your insurance company, or a Police Crime Prevention Officer, will advise on its preferred product.

6 Register valuable plant; the National Plant and Equipment Register (www.ter-europe.org ) runs an international database of owned and stolen equipment. It employs specialist staff who
work with law enforcement agencies to identify and recover stolen equipment. You can register five items for free. Tractors and other agricultural machinery, trailers, caravans, quarry
equipment and generators are amongst the most stolen items.
