Trailer Security |

|
Police in the Scottish Borders have had two reports of trailers having been stolen in recent days. We would like to urge owners of trailers to consider what security measures they have in place to keep their property safe. There are many products available to assist with keeping your trailer secure and some advice from the Secure By Design website is listed below. Simple steps such as storing trailers out of view and blocking them with a vehicle can also help.
Store out of sight - Store Trailers out of view in a garage or behind a building. Make it hard to remove - Blocking your trailer with another vehicle will prevent or make it harder for it to be taken. Fit physical security – Fit a combination of hitch lock anti-theft device, wheel clamp, and ground anchor – a physical barrier to theft is always a clear deterrent. Register, record and property mark all parts of the trailer – Register them with a recognised asset registration scheme and take photos, including specific fittings, marks, or damage, as these can help identify them if they are stolen. Install an alarm and tracking system, including roof markings – If stolen, being able to track and identify your trailer is vital. Clear roof markings, giving the year of manufacture and asset registration details, can also help with identification.
