Gone are the days when idol thugs steal cars, drug smuggle or burgle houses. Thieves are now turning their attention to the new and most wanted diamonds of the criminal activity – tractors. The theft of farming machinery is the new target for money hungry thieves, who are making millions from stealing top of the range models.

This Booming Black Market is affecting many rural counties across Britain, costing the agricultural industry an estimated 42.2 in machinery theft. Rural crime is on the rise and this does not only affect the theft of tractors, but also diggers, trailers and quad bikes are lucrative in this escalating crime wave.

Hundreds of tractors have been stolen to date, and in 2009 figures shown that the theft of farming machinery across Britain had rose by 5.5%. Criminals have being routinely stealing on average 2 tractors in a night from targeted dealerships and farms, and shipping them overseas to as far as Australia.

From the perspective of the delinquents, this international offense has a low risk of being caught and comes with a high reward. This makes the process all the more enticing for these erudite thieves.
