A Belgian carrier found a hole in his fence, and two empty spots where previously most expensive trucks were. He went on the hunt and found them to be back in the Netherlands!

In the neighbourhood of Ghent were two trucks, from the site of a transporter stolen. According to the owner knew the thieves exactly what they were looking for, they went off with the two most expensive trucks, more than 300,000 euro worth.

All traceermiddelen were by the thieves and left on the grounds of the conveyor. At least, that they thought they had. One hidden traceermiddel continued to work: a device that, on the basis of the mobile phone network to trace is continued to work. Unfortunately for the carrier, could the police there are, however, not immediately at once, because the system is just an area with a radius of about 15 km can give. One truck was according to the security company in the city of Venlo, the other in Tilburg, the netherlands.

And so jumps the people of the carrier to the car. They found the stolen trucks back in parking lots and the police still came to watch. If the thieves were caught is not known. According to the owner they used a well-known method: the cars are first put somewhere to see if the police coming. If after two days nothing has happened disappear the trucks final.
