Not a bad idea

One of my customers in a rural town, lets say near YSGE, had a very new CAT machine knocked off on a Saturday night. I thought....yeah right that is on a truck and stripped for parts in a 40' sea container and on its way to any other part of the globe by now.

But bugger me if a week later it was back! The dopey buggers drove it......yes drove it NNE and upon daylight hid it in the scrub until the next night.....or something. Luckily the council worker driving past spotted a colour in the bushes and a CAT logo. Called the cops and on the story went.

Funny part is the estimated time of driving right past the coppers in a town after dark (no machines on road at night rule) unseen.



Oh well up goes the insurance premium again!
