Theft of plant and equipment is a major problem for everyone involved in the turfcare industry, from local authorities through to sole traders.

Sports grounds are a magnet for the local criminal fraternity who know that many thousands of pounds worth of plant, tools and equipment may be stored in a relatively small area, and in their eyes this property is just waiting to be stolen.

Perimeter fencing, CCTV and even regular patrols from private security companies will not deter these professional criminals who will have done their homework before they make their move.

However, the one thing that seasoned criminals do not like to see is a Datatag® warning decal on your property! They know full well that the hidden Datatag® electronic transponders mean that the rightful owner can be identified by the Police in minutes using their special scanners. And, as every criminal knows, once legal ownership of suspect property has been established, a conviction for theft or handling stolen goods is guaranteed.

Criminals are well aware that Datatag® has a 100% success rate, and the CPS has never lost a court case in which Datatag® has been used in evidence. Once thieves see the Datatag® warning decals on a piece of plant or equipment they will usually leave it well alone and go looking for an easier target.

Designed to last a lifetime, Datatag® is today's leading electronic anti-theft deterrent for all plant and equipment and is fitted as standard to ALL Protea machines
