Looking into buying Lo-Jack or something else for some of our equipment. Mostly the high value/high demand equipment like our RTV's/small tractors/lawnmower. I don't worry about the larger (50HP+) tractors as much because there is so little Agriculture left in SW Washington that I don't think there is as much value to thieves as a nice RTV or compact tractors. Besides, we would hear one of the larger tractors leaving. There has been quite a bit of equipment theft here rescently and one of our local tractor dealerships just had 2 lawnmowers stolen off the lot. The thieves actually stole the mowers that were still crated from the factory, and stole a van truck from the dealership to haul them in. No surprise they found the truck the next day, no lawnmowers. A friend very near us had a trailer and lawnmower stolen from his lot this spring. Found the trailer next day, again- no mower.
So my question is, how many of you use Theft recovery systems? Anything to watch out for? I priced Lo-Jack, it looks like $695 each unit, but at least there is no monthly or subscription fee. Another unit I priced was something like $100, with $15.99 a month. That adds up to a lot if you never use it. Lo Jack claims to have a great recovery rate.
BTW:, BEFORE YOU ASK OR COMMENT, Yes, we do pull the keys in all of our Equipment. No, pulling the batteries is not an option- We are a working farm and use our equipment daily. Yes, we have a gate, but thieves have bolt cutters. And No, a gun is not an option, thieves would be gone before we hear anything, too many buildings, we can't see anybody around the barns.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
