Why Trackers Are a Must: Real-Life Plant Theft Recovery in Kent

Aug 21, 2025 | News

It was a typical Monday morning at Autosparx HQ and then…..

We received a phone call from one of our fleet customers in panic mode!

Two expensive bits of #plant #constuction kit were STOLEN from their business premises over the weekend & they asked for our help in ensuring their location & a safe recovery.

Luckily we’d previously fitted security to both bits of kit & were able to quickly ascertain that they were both STOLEN over the weekend on the Saturday evening at 22:15

then both bits of kit stopped for a short while in Newington Kent, one remained & the other continued to Iwade in Kent.

#autosparx with the help of our #trackmanager stolen vehicle support team & #kentpolice #policedogs recovered both the #trailer & the #digger which were located deep in scrub land at each of the above respective locations. 

Although the digger had been partially stripped & there was some damage to the locks, ignition barrel & bodywork, our customer is happy they’ve got the kit back & confident their insurers will cover the necessary repair costs. 

Great work by all involved in the recovery & safe return of both bits of kit to our customer. The customer is now aware had they used the geofence facility on their Tracker app they would have had a notification of movement when it initially happened.
