Why horseboxes and trailers get pinched?
Why horseboxes and trailers get pinched.
So the reality is that the horse box you use to take your horse around is desirable, there is a strong black market for these. A lot of used Horseboxes are described as death traps, which brings a nice market for stolen. Because a horse box doesn’t have a reg number you’re relying on the customer to do their own due diligence, sometimes budgets and just general knowledge will make that null and void. Horsebox theft is up 66%. That’s not s small number. (Source 1)
There is also a more personal element. Its to do with the actual horse itself. A horse can be a sizeable investment. Reality is that a thief could be trying to steal a horse and decide to take a trailer too. Think about it logically, its easier for a thief to approach in a 4x4 without a trailer on, if they’ve scouted out what they’re looking for, which lets be honest is a high probability. They’re going to know there’s a horse box around too. Much easier to take one that’s already there than to drag your own. (Source 2)
How do I stop my horse box from being stolen?
All kind of methods work, from Moving Intelligence wireless trackers to wheel clamps to hiding the trailer behind another piece of equipment.
How does a vehicle tracker work on a trailer?
The Moving Intelligence unit is completely wireless, meaning it can be fitted anywhere on the inside or outside of the vehicle, somewhere well hidden. With its UK based control centre its like having your own security team on your side at all times
Will I know if my trailer is being moved if it has a tracker on?
Yes, Moving Intelligence Wireless Trackers will give up to three phone numbers a phone call if movement is sensed on the device.
Trailers have historically ben difficult to protect, with modern advances in technology it has never been easier to protect your assets.
