THE IRISH ENTEREPENUER & TOYOTA CAR DISTRIBUTOR THE LATE TIM MAHONY ONCE SAID TO HIS EXTENSIVE SALES FORCE – “WHEN U HAVE HAD THE EXPERIENCES I HAVE HAD WITH THE PROFESSIONAL BANKERS & LAWYERS CLASSES, - IT IS REFRESHING TO LOOK INTO THE EYES OF A USED CAR SALESMAN!”
We are all given to exageration and some get more carried away than others!The Home Office & Police Statistics confirm that less than 5% of all stolen plant is recovered. This means that After-Theft Tracking & Location Systems are not recovering plant.
That’s why Kosran offer an anti-theft deterrent, to stop plant being stolen in the 1st place … anti-theft versus after-theft recovery – its a no brainer. But the less than 5% statistics makes some tracker sales people very nervous for example; A-Plant & their Enigma Tracker constantly claim to have bucked the UK trend and claim they have a 98% recovery rate... Well that could be 97% or 99% the exact stat has slipped my mind but the point is that there is an unbelievable record & achievement against the national average.
Some lateral thinkers might say it is... not believable.But there are no lengths to which A-Plant & Enigma will not go to - to convince you of this for example 12 days ago an A-Plant skid steer was stolen in the UK and found in Sharjah.... Where? Sharjah (Middle East)
The value of the machine was probably £10,000
But wait for it... Ian Keam George, the Chief Executive of Enigma was despatched by A-Plant with a CESAR scanner and left his office in Benfleet, Essex and travelled with due haste to Sharjah with scanning equipment to identify the machine... Now if that doesn't convince you of the lengths to which A-Plant & Enigma will go to convince you that they recover 97, 98 or 99% of stolen plant - maybe its 100% now? what will?
But who will pay the bill to (1) Ship the machine back to the UK & (2) pay Ian's 3-4day round trip for the 2 min ID job?
I think they should say to hell with the expense, don't flog the machine off locally again to the guy who bought the machine in Sharjah but take it back to the UK and exhibit it at the Civils show in London in November - So you can see & experience a recovered machine for yourself - now wouldn't that be a site for sore eyes?!
