Automatrics stolen Mecalac roller recovery operation 220119 in Kent

Firstly a big apology for the delay in uploading, we have been very busy and the videos uploads have suffered as a consequence. We have another three operational videos in the edit room, with some great content on its way soon including an update from the stolen BMW M2. We hope to upload these all within the next 2-3 weeks.
Automatrics try to track down an older GSM/RF tracking unit in Kent after two previous finder operations proved unsuccessful. The stolen Mecalac Pedestrian Roller & trailer is small enough to hide just about anywhere. Just where is this machine laid up ?

[@123mcgarrigle]

Guy on the phone was hilarious. “Can send some people to kick the door in?”😂😂😂 That’s something I want to see. 20 guys turning up lol

[@davidmg1925]

no he actually said some thing different to that.

[@AWilliamBishop]

yeah me too rather than 6000 police officers...way too many police sent to these callouts.

[@agate_jcg]

Yeah, I kind of want to see Mick's KZbin channel. "Right, so this morning we got a call about some bloke what nicked a digger, right now me and my mates are havin' a few at the pub across the street, then we'll go 'round and kick the fuckin' doors in."

[@tonymontana897]

As funny as that is, it's not the best solution. Someone can get hurt so it's best to let the Police arrive, secure the scene, then take appropriate action. Legal wrangling is no fun and gets very expensive..

[@l337pwnage]

It made me wonder if repoing was legal in the U.K.

[@airspeed_alive]

I love Mick, "we can always send the boys down to kick the fucking doors in" we all need a Mick in our lives 🤣

[@toysareforboys1]

I was sooo hoping the police were gonna say "Stolen vehicle? We don't have time for that mate!" and then Mick and the Gang were going to show up with some bolt cutters, torches and a shovel to bury the bodies :)

Freaking Old Skool erm, would you tell Mick n the gang I am trying to get the tenner I owe him ASAP, no need to send the gang up to Scotland, Deffo should have the cash 💰 by Thursday!!!

[@SinkyYT]

Nice that you're showing the registration plates of other vehicles in the yard just incase someone has had a vehicle stolen that hasn't been found yet.

[@peterhaan9068]

Why the hell didn't the police run those plates to begin with? I consistently find the 'lack of enthusiasm' of the police to be a bit disconcerting in your videos. Are they threatened by this technology?

[@professormcgorgeous]

I don't think they would be respraying stolen cars those are usually broken up into bits and shipped off abroad, stolen to commit further crime or just stolen to joyride to show off on social media. The police officers should have run all the vin numbers through to see if they were nicked.

[@PjotrStroganov]

@@peterhaan9068 Who says they didn't track the numbers?

[@chris746568462]

All of the vehicles show between 11:27 and 11:50 have No tax and No MOT with the exception of the smashed BMW which is taxed until 01/07/19 but has no MOT.

[@M3rVsT4H]

@Steven Hickman You make it sound like it's difficult and time consuming to do. Honestly, with most late model VIN's visible through the windscreen and smart phones, Just one of the many cops in attendance could have done the lot in a few minutes which was far less than it took for the bloke with the keys to arrive.

[@albertbatfinder5240]

Who would have thought that owners of construction equipment needed to keep up with the latest colour trends? JCB yellow is so last century.

[@AR-jx6wr]

The shop had to suspect the roller was stolen. Repainting a roller that doesn’t need it should be a red flag.

[@tbrowniscool]

AND the guy that opened the unit had the explanation "Yeah I think they wanted it painted white or something, to match the company colours?" That guy knew 100%

@Ganz Bestimmt White isn't unique. I've seen construction equipment in that colour. If they wanted to make it unique they would use a colour like Light blue, red or purple. Now those colours would stand out and force a respray.

[@peterimmington8670]

Funny how the police turn up pronto when the property has already been found, try reporting something stolen see how long it takes them to respond.

[@hippopotamus86]

Pretty hard to find something once it has been nicked. Exactly the reason why tracking companies like this exist.

[@bbb8775]

im not trying to offend anyone but lots of stolen stuff ends up on traveller sites but police are to scared to go in cause the will cause a riot, a large operation was taken out in south wales and so much stolen stuff were in the sites

[@dfpguitar]

@@bbb8775 travellers usually flog stuff as soon as they've nicked it. Sometimes they'll grab something from your own neighbour, sell it to you and drive off. I've seen them steal laptops off people in town centre who just bought them, then they walk around to find customers to resell to.

i want to add to my previous comments about some things....those high end cars and expensive shop ag equipment it should be a option to sit and wait for the crooks to return they are wanted already most likely .....some solid caught in the act vids helps the courts immensely, which ought to be proper for an approved tracking company to pull off.

[@ChrisX431]

I mean maybe i've been watching too many tv shows but couldn't they just call the guy the next day and say the respray work is done, pretty sure he'd show. easy?

[@irondarknessdarkness8900]

@@ChrisX431 1 this could be considered entrapment , i do not know about UK law much except that their pretty strict. and 2 most shop owners can not pull this off without blowing it and 3 nothing beats actual persons picking up said things on camera which means the owner would have had to go along with the respray so the police could put the mitts on them after they take possession of it on video.

[@Aria18976]

This is really close to my house. That postcode you said is where I've been to the breakers yard for parts

[@elftax]

Cops should have taken the opportunity to go through the whole yard and demand to see papers for every vehicle. It might be a legit company but if they are aiding & abetting criminals than they should pay the small price of inconvenience

[@Sturgeonmeister]

Surprised that the Police allowed the roller to be taken back. Here in the States, once it was confirmed that it was the stolen item, they would take a ton of pics, they might even hold the roller as evidence, then call the shop owner to come out, then arrest the shop owner. Meanwhile a team would come out and verify if any of the vehicles are listed stolen. But, I’m glad to see the roller returned.

Not surprised you've being very busy judging by how bad car crime & crime in general has gotten all over the UK,Thanks to companies such as yourselves, the thieves out there aren't getting away with it so easily. As somebody else pointed out in the comments i wonder why the Police wasn't checking the VIN's of those cars / vans in the yard to make sure there wasn't any other stolen property being stored there.

Positive 1. The equipment was returned to the rightful owner 2. The address was clearly given so people can know stolen equipment may be at that business (without the owner "knowing" of course). 3. The registrations of other vehicles was shown I'm not for mob justice as the IQ of many groups is often less than the lowest single contributor, but if there is insufficient police funding it pays to have local knowledge before doing business. If a company loses business because they have been shown to handle stolen goods _without making sufficient attempts to avoid it_ then tough luck. I've taken a stolen used camera in while working for a camera store, first time the guy came in to trade I declined for insufficient ID / proof of ownership. The guy then came back with all the required personal address /ID details, stolen with the camera, from his landlord. This was before photo ID driving licenses so I had no way to know the details he gave first time, which tied up with the receipt and address bills were not him. Anyone can make a mistake but the Police were happy I had tried to avoid taking stolen goods, not sure that was exactly happened in this case but let the future behaviour be the proof not one _mistake_ .?
