THEFT DETERRENT PRACTICES
General
The owner/operator should take the following precautions to discourage theft, to
aid in the recovery in the event that the machine is stolen, or to reduce vandal-
ism.
Actions to Discourage Theft and Vandalism
Remove all keys any time the machine is left unattended.
At night lock all doors and attach, secure or lock all anti-vandalism and
anti-theft devices on the machine.
Immobilise the machine by removing a critical electrical or starting system de-
vice.
Upon receipt of a machine, record the machine serial number and the serial
numbers of all major components and attachments. Keep this list up to date and
filed in a safe location for fast retrieval.
Place a decal or notice on the machine stating that all serial numbers are recorded.
Discourage the thief! Inspect the gates and fences of the machinery storage
yard or construction site. Keep machines in well-lit areas and ask the local law
enforcement authorities to make frequent checks around the storage yard or
work site.
Establish liaison with neighbours and ask them to watch equipment left at job
sites and to report any suspicious activities to the local law enforcement au-
thorities.
Make frequent inventories of machines to promptly detect losses or vandalism.
Actions to Aid in Recovery of Stolen Machines
In the event of theft, immediately notify the law enforcement authorities having
jurisdiction. Provide the investigating officer with name, type of equipment, chassis
and serial numbers of major attachments and components. It is helpful to show
the investigating officer an Operator’s Handbook, photographs, and advertising,
to familiarize him with the appearance of the machine.
Report the theft to the insurance company. Provide the model and all serial
numbers.
Report the model and serial numbers of the stolen machine to a dealer handling
the respective line of equipment. Request that the dealer forward this same
information to the equipment manufacturer.
