  • Caravan Tracker from Automatrics recovers a stolen Hobby caravan worth over £24,000. The owners had just purchased the brand new dream holiday home for their 50th wedding anniversary.
    See how the Automatrics MTrack successfully locates the van despite it being hidden inside a lockup behind two sets of doors where GPS signals were blocked.
    The caravan was stolen from the owners drive on a Friday afternoon from Ross On Wye. The Police were lead by Automatrics to the Cheltenham lockup and made several arrests, the main culprit was later sent to prison.

    Richard you are an inspiration (and looking rather dapper in the suit if i may say so), someone who cares about his customers these days is rare, more power to your elbow and may your company grow continually because you deserve it.
    Chapeau.

    To all you guys who said "don't moan you got it back",should have listened more closely .It stated that the man had cancer ,and didn't have much longer to live .Having the caravan stolen ,affected them badly and took some of the pleasure out of their plans .

      What you claim to have achieved is irrelevant to me. Judging by your sexist comment and the fact that you make silly assumptions without any proof. I can pretty safely assume you have no luck with women, morals (sexist) or assets.

    Ive watched alot of this guys vids. He is very compassionate about his work and shows loyalty to his customers. He is willing to travel anywhere for his customers,a good person to trust your beloved belongings with. Ive learnt 2 things whilst watching these videos. 1- If i ever do steal an item, ensure i check it thoroughly for any kind of tracking device and dump it quick or...2- Buy a tracker myself for my own car and if ever stolen leave it upto the thieves to find the tracker and dump it quick. Alas some thieves aint so clever and forget about tracking devices etc so Richard may well be making a video on my property lol;.

    One morning in the early 1980's my mum who had cancer and was recovering from a broken hip let her puppy into the garden and put on the kettle to make a cup of tea. Before the kettle had boiled she caught a glimpse of someone passing the window and when she got to the window with her walking frame saw two guys hurrying down the lane carrying her dog.
    The local policeman knew right away that it was to be found at the lay-by where the Pinkies had recently camped up, but they denied having seen the dog and so he could't do anything.
    Then the following afternoon some of the local kids were passing the line of caravans on their bikes and saw the dog inside a caravan and their mother called the policeman who went right away and got it.
    That same year the same crowd conned an old lady with dementia in to cutting her grass which didn't need cut because her son had just cut it the day before, and when her daughter in law visited her later she found that the lawnmower and some other things has been stolen from her shed.
    These people are completely heartless.

    26 months is not a big enough sentance if they had stolen a security van with 24000 pounds cash the sentance would be more WHY.
    the people that do this should be rf tagged and fitted with trackers for life so they have no chance of doing it again.

    The sooner that caravans and trailers over a certain weight have to have their own V5 and number plate as in Europe, the better. Most people won't know the VIN of their caravan or trailer, especially if bought secondhand, which is why so many are not recovered. Don't get me wrong, it won't stop the thieves, but it makes it harder for them to dispose of one as they would need to obtain another V5; or ring it, which gives them the same problem. Anyone in possession of an unidentifiable caravan or trailer (if the VIN number is ground out, which is a preferred option by some in the travelling fraternity) would have it seized and destroyed.

      wish i had you guys when my bike got stolen bike was reported stolen 9am when i was leaving for work
      police took 3 days to get back to me with any information
      bike was found abandoned literally 90 seconds from my house abandoned in the woods at around 3am the day i reported it stolen (yes they found it 6 hours before i knew it was gone)
      20 seconds with anpr or the dvla database would have revealed me as the owner and my adress (cause they sure as shit would find my adress if i did a drive off at a petrol forcourt) 90 seconds of walking to my house and all would be good didnt even need to fetch the bike id do that i got strong young legs back when i was 18
      nah too much effort had it towed and stung me with 3 days storage fees for a bike i didnt even know at this point would even be worth the 300 quid recovery fees
      which sucks cause im all for the police and the hard work they do but when 5 minutes of radioing and playing with there taxpayer incar computers is too much work even though they must have been sat there for a good hour waiting for the recovery truck then you cant help but be disapointed in them
      next vehicle i get im just fitting one of your guys trackers they arnt too bad considering they save me making a major claim in the long run and hey might even drop my insurance

      What an amazing ability to form such mental images of things and events.
      What makes you imagine that Richard enjoys eating pigs.
      To me it seems unlikely. Nice refined men don't eat pigs.
      Traditionally pigs were consumed by peasants.
      Although you have a 'Demonic' ability to form innovative mental images, your ability to express your thoughts using letters of the alphabet leave a lot to be desired in terms of literary skill, especially when considered from the point of view of style and effect.
      Richard was being quite furtive, marked by quiet and caution and secrecy; taking pains to avoid being observed.
      It is with regret that I have to say, that there are students age 7 in my English Classes that academically outclass you.

      There is no such crime on the books in the U.K as Grand Theft Auto.
      Twenty six months is reasonable for a first offense.
      Had there been weapons used to threaten the owners, or some form of violence then up to six years is not uncommon.
      All material things can be replaced.
