NFU Mutual has warned that persistent farm quad bike thieves threaten critical lambing season RURAL THIEVES are targeting higher specification quads, prompting the launch of new tracker and immobilisation initiatives. Although the number of quads stolen in 2020 fell, NFU Mutual reported that more large off-road vehicles were taken, which can cost two or three times as much as a quad bike. These vehicles now represent 14% of all quad and ATV thefts, compared to 11% in 2019. To help farmers protect their quads from increasingly sophisticated thieves, the insurer has launched a pilot scheme with manufacturers, starting with Yamaha and Honda, to provide customers with free tracking and immobilisation equipment on vehicles bought to replace stolen quads and ATVS, following a paid claim.
