We've sadly had reports that grounds equipment is being stolen. To help, we've put together a list of top tips on how to protect your valuable equipment from theft, but also how to spot potentially stolen machinery being sold. See some of the tips below ⬇️⬇️

1⃣ Mark up and lock up🔒 Make sure you mark equipment with a unique name or number to help identify stolen items. Look to buy recommended marking kits or alarmed padlocks for equipment – when buying, always look out for a ‘sold secure’ mark of approval.

2⃣ Invest in additional safety🔗 Make sure you bolster the security of wherever you keep your equipment. This can be through garage defenders, immobilisers or even security cameras.

3⃣ Use your local network🤝 Speak to community police officers or local clubs who may have experienced similar incidents. If you are a GMA member or have contact with a Regional Pitch Advisor, share details of any stolen items so that local contacts can keep an eye out for them.
