TER 2007 Annual Theft Report
Plant theft is down for the first time in 12 years, according to a new report by The National Plant and Equipment Register (TER).

In its 2007 Equipment Theft Report published today, TER reveals that plant theft has fallen by 18% over the last year. But it urges equipment owning companies not to be complacent. “Although this is a significant drop, plant theft is still a widespread serious organised criminal activity, often directly linked to the funding of terrorist groups,” warns TER’s Tim Purbrick. “There is still a long way to go and many serious issues still need to be addressed.”

TER 2006 Annual Theft Report
TER has more than 500,000 plant and equipment items registered, valued at around £2.6BN. The 2006 Annual Theft Report features over 24 pages of equipment theft and recovery statistics with Action Points and advice for Police, Insurers, Owners and Manufacturers.
The aim of the document is to:
• Provide interested parties with detailed UK equipment theft data
• Highlight the nature and extent of equipment theft
• Suggest ways in which those involved, or with the potential to be involved, with plant and equipment can address some of the issues raised in order to reduce equipment theft and raise the level of stolen equipment recovery.
