criminals are targeting GPS systems from tractors

criminals are targeting GPS systems from tractors and other agricultural machinery for their monetary value, not to directly use the GPS data for financial gain in a complex scheme.

 Protective Measures (as provided):

• PIN Security:
  • Activating PIN security makes the system unusable without the correct code, deterring thieves.
• Marking Property:
  • Marking the equipment with your postcode makes it easier to identify and trace if stolen.
• Secure Storage:
  • Storing machinery out of sight reduces the opportunity for theft.
• Removal and Secure Storage:
  • Removing the GPS kit when not in use and storing it in a secure location is the most effective way to prevent theft.
• Security Marking and Documentation:
  • Recording serial numbers and taking photographs of the kit helps with identification and recovery.
• Due Diligence When Buying Second-Hand:
  • Checking serial numbers of second-hand equipment helps avoid purchasing stolen goods.
