Every week £1 000 000 worth of plant and agricultural machinery is stolen from all over the UK (Home Office Figures). The theft is low risk to the criminal with little chance of being checked or the plant being examined while it is being moved around the country.
It is estimated that only 5-10% of stolen plant and agricultural machinery is ever restored to its rightful owners.
