Greenstar units stolen from E Dorset

[Brisel]

Newbury and surrounding areas was a hotbed for this a few years ago but they are taken off every night now. What will happen when the 6000 is plugged in and it can be found then?

The dealer is going to contact JD so the equipment will flag up on the system as stolen if any other dealer sees it again. Unfortunately they can't disable it remotely - if they could there would be no market for stealing it!

I think you need to take photos in landscape mode, then they'll load correctly.
I had this problem, @llamedos use to correct them for me.

Llamedos doesn't work around here anymore, sorry.

I wonder if they have theft issues in the US, probably low rates in Germany as the yard set ups are different.

Ah thanks John that makes sense!

Apparently some got stolen just the other side of Shaftesbury sometime over the last few days as well

Just spoke to Josh Stratton's manager at Codford. They had 1 PIN protected unit nicked & were disturbed before taking another 2 older iTC receivers. Fry's got several units nicked too.

Over 20 Greenstar units stolen this weekend in Ireland from John Deere dealers and farms

And definitely gone for export . Total value €160,000. Some hit.

Quite a few units stolen round here a few weeks ago, including ours. Police said it was a Lithuanian gang going round doing it. Units being sent to Eastern block, Ukraine etc. Advised us to write postcode on the unit in permanent marker, FFS!

Both very close to me. If the unit has a pin will the thieves know? If not they will still take them until every unit is encrypted.

Depends if they can read or not....

 

[Boysground]

Looks like I need to get a sticker

[marcot]

I'm sure they will still nick my unit ....peel off the sticker and sell it on ...

I was just think of the potential damage if they decided to take my Fendt unit, its all in the sunroof.

Josh's 6000 unit was PIN protected & new - to replace the one he had nicked earlier in the year

That's a great idea

Some better signage around the yard to say we're using DNA markers, CCTV, Datatag, trackers too.

Would it not be possible that some of these scrotes have access to the John Deere app the fitters use? They do appear to know exactly where these tractors are and when they are parked up? Just a thought.....

 

[Brisel]

The app should be secure - it took a while for the dealers to register them!

 

[Hopeful1]

I’m sure it is but the cynic in me thinks there’s more to this, how do they find so many in the same area, often parked away from prying eyes without a little ‘help’?
100’s if not 1000’s must have access to there app

 

[Brisel]

Reconnaissance, social media... there are so many ways of finding out who has what but you're right, access to this information would be a big help to them.

@Brisel I have only just read this thread and post,absolutely nothing is safe these days.
Always concerns me what scum read TFF to glean info about stuff that is being nicked there by giving other scum the idea.
