Could your quad bike or ATV be an easy target for thieves?

Quad bikes and ATVs are essential tools for many farmers, landowners and rural businesses, but their value, portability and use in remote locations can make them attractive to criminals.

Thieves can target vehicles left unattended during work, stored in unsecured barns or outbuildings, or kept in open yards. Once stolen, ATVs may be sold on, stripped for parts or moved out of the area, making recovery far more difficult.

✅ Store vehicles securely whenever possible  

✅ Use physical security devices such as locks and chains  

✅ Consider fitting a tracking device  

✅ Mark your property and record identifying details  

✅ Regularly review security around buildings and storage areas

Taking a few simple precautions can make your vehicle much harder to steal and help protect your livelihood.
