Bob, you only have your own agenda because the equipment industry has a theft problem, one that is not helped by this poorly presented misinformation.
I recently attended a seminar on the issue of equipment theft within the demolition industry and the audience was one of the most passionate I have seen in many a year. I do, however, feel that the demolition sector is viewed by many of the anti-theft brigade as something of a backwater while they concentrate on the volume equipment users in the rental business.

You are absolutely right and I am sure that this helps theives get away with it. Almost as bad – a trio of theives were caught on CCTV driving an unmarked white Transit van through the breached gates and towing the one tonne mini-excavator – that would have been interesting! or was it really the trailer that they towed? What upsets me is that there are items out there to stop theft of trailers – but then I have my own agenda.

I’m glad it’s not just us then! Mind you, having re-read the article, it does sound rather like I got out of bed the wrong side (and about five hours too early)

It is pedantic, but this kind of thing drives me mad too. The number of times the BBC talks about JCBs and bulldozers while showing pictures of something that is nether is staggering. They should know better.
