Security
Theft of vehicles and plant always increases during the Winter. We’ve all had or know someone who has been a victim of theft and can therefore relate to the inconvenience caused and the financial losses arising from theft.
Mobile assets are difficult to protect and are always at risk when left unattended. Simple precautions can make the thieves’ life more difficult to the point where they move on or don’t bother. This is because time is their enemy.
Security is about sensible precautions and an understanding of the layered approach. Security can be improved by simple precautions that cost very little and sometimes nothing at all. Please read our useful hints further down this document.
Enigma has a strong security background having been in the business for many years. We’re worked with insurers, operators, the Police and other parties to protect and recover stolen assets. Our engineers are fully trained, work to a high standard and are accredited within the Thatcham Approved Installer scheme.
Skyline protects 24/7 either by on-screen or e-mail alerts or by use of our approved monitoring bureau who are also fully trained and accredited to provide you with the assurance you demand.
Staff security is equally important. Skyline delivers additional layers of protection for colleagues working alone and away from base. Our lone worker systems provide that added layer of protection that enables our customer to comply with relevant Health & Safety requirements.

There are many practical precautions that you can take to make theft even more difficult and we’ve listed a few of these below together with links to various websites with even more advice & suggestions.
Trucks, Vans & Cars:
- Never leave valuable items in your vehicle, including the removable radio covers, your Sat Nav or even your Christmas presents.
- Never leave your keys where they can be seen from the front door or in a poorly secured site office which will be unmanned over the Christmas period.
- Wipe away the Sat Nav mark on your windscreen.
- Fit anti-tamper screws to your number plate.
- Park with care, particularly if leaving a vehicle for the duration of the Christmas period, if possible park in a busy well lit area.
- Ensure all doors, sunroofs and windows are properly shut and that security devices are active.
- Check that any tracking devices or alarms that may be fitted are working and will do their job in the even of a theft.
- If a tracking device is fitted, ensure the vehicle battery is charged - if it goes flat the tracking device will have limited life whilst working off its battery back-up.
Plant & Agricultural Machinery:
- Locate plant within view of guards or CCTV systems.
- Key security locked safe/metal key cabinets taken off site.
- Secure small and portable items in a locked container or removed from site to a secure location.
- Chain/padlock small plant items together (or to a secure structure).
- Fit cab screens to plant.
- Block high value items with smaller items.
- Check that any tracking devices or immobilisers that may be fitted are working and will do their job in the event of a theft.
