Forgive my ignorance but john deere must know where all this stuff is going? Can they not just turn the stolen ones off somehow or is that too simple?

It’s a pain in the arse to remove them I know but you wouldn’t leave your wallet or phone on show in your car in the street,it’s no different these days sadly. if the dome ain’t there it can’t be pinched as for the screens if it’s not the armrest one then take it with youSurely the bit of inconvenience and time removing and refitting far out ways the on costs associated with having them stolen? If its got a plug on it it wants to come out every night.
fake domes with C4 in and a shaker switch !May have to get some fake domes and fit trackers!

Local NH dealer also got cleaned out a few weeks back and the chap who down the road from me who got done the same night I did got his fastrac emptied, they even removed the controllers from that!You dont hear so much about other brands of equipment being stolen at the same rate as JD.... Is this because there isn't the market for it or because its the only brand that make the receiver stand out so much ? Should we paint our domes green or black and mount them further back on the cab roof?

Boston and surrounding area has been hitAn estimated £1m worth of GPS kit stolen in multiple incidents across Lincolnshire last night apparently.
I’m sure the reason Deere made the domes yellow was all about marketing, when they first came out they where so noticeable you just had to ask what it was then when you can quite clearly see your two neighbours both with them the urge just gets too much! Unfortunately just like the honey hunters who attach little flags to wild bees so they can follow them back to the hive, these domes provide the perfect tracking system for thieves to a huge hoard all in the same place, it seems the only safe place is if on the machine you are with it driving it or under the bed while you sleep!You dont hear so much about other brands of equipment being stolen at the same rate as JD....
