Those of you that are taking number plates down, you do realise that most of them are false anyway?
My cunning plan is to never have anything worth nicking.

Putting locked gates accross the drive when you have a public footpath going though the middle of your yard is for some reason frowned upon
More than likely he just either said or spelt the last word wronglyThe last white Transit pick up that called here left his business card which had the name of a genuine auctioneer based a few miles away. They were doing a special auction for used batteries, oh and any old metal gates if they were cluttering the place up. When questioned about his bona fides, chap reckoned he had worked with several of the experts from "Bargain Hunt".
Tell them to get off your yard !Had one today,brother in law was helping out and a silver 05 Mercedes ML drives on the yard.’Got any old axles boss’ was the enquirey.
BIL got the number and sent him on his way,rang 101 and later had the local plod following it up,quite impressive really.
So any extra tips?
Insurance companies should really be offering discounts to farms that take precautions such as controlled access etc IMO - would go some way toward covering the cost and it must reduce risk surely ?
PolicyWhen I first got my cctv cameras on my yard I mentioned it to the NFU rep hoping I might get a discount.
His response was “we might need to increase the police to cover the cameras”!!!!
They don’t insure us anymore.
Many years ago working at a Bedford main dealer, they would come in and pay cash for a new wagon, in those days you had a free service at 500 miles which included an oil change. One day one turned up for a first service (not bought from us) foreman was a bit suspicious as the wagon looked as though it had done more than 500 miles, he checked up with Bedford and after checking chassis numbers etc, it had already had more than 1 first service. Turned out they had a spare speedo head with about 500 miles on it which they were using for free services.1 legal taxed and mot'ed white transit van but trouble is they got numerous on the same allegedly!
Yes, but in the past , farm yards actually had a farmer, some workers and a wife to keep an eye out.They can be latched open on busy days by sending a text , but pressing a button or dialling a number when half way up farm drive means they are open when you get there and isn’t really a lot of effort
Anyone who needs legitimate access like employees, agronomist etc all get the number so they can dial themselves in - you can restrict hours or remove permissions and check logs to see who came and went when if you have need to do so
Makes the yard feel 1000% more secure - seems mad they were ever open and anyone could drive or wander around our yard in the past now
Sorry you won't get a reply their away skiing for the winterYes, but in the past , farm yards actually had a farmer, some workers and a wife to keep an eye out.
