About VIN CHIP

Caravan thefts peaked in 1990, leading to the development of the CRiS registration scheme. The National Caravan Council (NCC) and Metropolitan Police, worked together to significantly reduced theft rates. 

Since 1998, VIN CHIP and CRiS with its RFID solutions have been the leading security and recovery system for leisure vehicles, and has now expanded its expertise to the agricultural, construction, and plant industries.

It is the ID process which is usually problematic for them. Heavy equipment isn’t like cars which are littered with traceable ID features, quite simply, if the chassis number and identifying features are removed, it is generally accepted that the machine will remain unidentifiable

Without proper identification of the machine, the case remains unsolved and sadly, this usually results in stolen machinery being handed back to the person from whom it was seized.

Sites provide a lucrative target for thieves and the impact of plant and tool theft on construction projects is vast, with a ripple effect. The repercussions of project delays and late completion results in disappointed clients, reduced profit margins and increased insurance premiums. Optimising security measures on sites is crucial

They are putting a lot of effort into identifying farm equipment fitted with GPS, watching those farms and even using drones to spot opportunities to return at night. They go to great lengths to get hold of kit, breaking through locked gates and buildings security systems to take GPS from machinery.
