One of our tele handlers was found in a wood 40 miles away police said they were watching it to catch thieves of course you can guess the rest
something like this hidden under the dash /clocks on quads so when they get going, pow covered in dye and leaving a some trail to follow would be good.

Don't, not if you've got property they can take revenge on. Until the law is on the side of the victim you just have to soak it up.

They stole a telehandler off a site two miles away an the police gave chase in the middle of the night, the machine was doing less than 10mph an they couldn’t stop it, it just rammed them out of the way! They drove it through my fence off a main road into a field which is surrounded by a canal, did they catch them?? Did they feck as like!!!

Sounds hilarious. Wish I was allowed to do that. Fudging police are hopeless.

I know, they must of just vanished into thin air!! They’re pathetic if you ask me, criminals have no respect for police or the law because they know they can’t touch them or prosecute them because “ lack of evidence “ !! Someone else put your quad in my shed gov honest!!!?

Got a friend from Texas son stopping over for a few days he on an exchange with university in London and was telling him about my quad going walkies last week says it just wouldn't happen over there as most people have guns and are allowed to protect their property and ask questions later

We had case like that 20 years ago, three men "attempted" to steal a quad, the owner shot at the vehicle that was used by the offender, injuring one of the offenders. Guess who got charged? Ffs the victim!!!
From memory he was charged for attempted murder, had to pay for his defence and at the last minute the charge was dropped and he was discharged.
Lost the farm as that was used to pay for his defence, ignoring the fact he should never been charged in the first place,nor did he get any compensation either.

You have crime in New Zealand?

Yes, one motorbike stolen, both houses broken into, one television stolen.
I was fair f!@#ing pissèd off when they stole my motorbike, might have been just an old AG200, but that's not the point.
If I even have either of my other two bikes stolen and I find out who does it, they will be nailed to the deck of the ute if I get my hands on them!!!

we may have a high chance of our quads etc going walkies in the middle of the night but at least we know our kids will come home from school at the end of the day. I know which country I would rather live in.

Just nail one foot to the ground and watch them making crop circles.

That is what a local chap uses on his polaris utv which is locked inside a 20ft shipping container, inside his workshop. You can imagine the bang when it goes off. Set it up after he had one stolen and sure enough came back for the new one. Heard almighty boom in middle of the night so looked out window to see two lads staggerring around the yard holding their ears. They have never been back.
