Wonder did Johnston's get this issue sorted did anyone ever hear
What happened?The original post on facebook by Johnston's was removed after about 2 hours, although by that stage half the country had screenshotted it.
I would assume the issue is sorted by now. I'd imagine Johnston's were at the end of their tether regarding this issue and having a fair idea of how they operate making this issue public would have been their very last resort. It also served as warning that they aren't to be messed around by anyone thinking of chancing the same thing in future.
I hope they got the reg number of the van.The Starfire system was stole off our neighbours John Deere 6250r Tuesday night.
so do I, Timmins has the serial number of the system and has deactivated it so if its put on another machine the operator won't be long about finding out its stolen.I hope they got the reg number of the van.
seen that, total scumbagsAnother one taken in mullingar .
seems to be an awful spree of these starfire thefts
I heard yesterday of a contractor near Mitchelstown had 3 Starfires stolen this week. Where are the b*#*#rds finding a market for them?seems to be an awful spree of these starfire thefts

Ye got there before me, I got the community alert text about it yesterday.Came here to post that. Local lads. Their yard does be well locked up. Must have been watching the place. The rotten f**kers who done hopefully get what they deserve.
In this instance there was a screen taken out of the self propelled sprayer.Is it that John Deere ones are easier to hack or something? There has been spates of them stolen across the uk the last year or 2 and now it seems to be over here, but it pretty much always seems to be starfire receivers that are being taken, rarely any other brand.
Or is there some special metals on the boards that lads are going for?
The amount of them taken there definitely can’t be a market for them second hand with out deere knowing about it being that in most cases they are getting the dome but not screens so someone is going to have to be buying screens
Yeah but 1 screen and several domes and that seems to be common enough, I know there are lads with multiple domes moving screens around but I doubt everyone would want that either?Ye got there before me, I got the community alert text about it yesterday.
Sheds 200mts up the road were also broken into and the entrance gate opened though nothing there to be taken.
As Daniel says the place where the GPS units were stolen (local contractors, one of whom takes a peep in here now and again) is as secure as possible and plenty of cameras.
In this instance there was a screen taken out of the self propelled sprayer.
Wouldn't you think with the technology available that when these units are powered up again that John Deere would be able to know their exact location.
Must be serious inside information about the exact location of these JD systems. About time JD got their fingers outIs it that John Deere ones are easier to hack or something?

Myself and the neighbours came to the conclusion after there's was stolen was that they dismantle them sell them for parts. I don't know what they do with the monitors, they tried to take the monitor out of the 6250 but something must have spooked them as they ran off while trying to gain access to the cab.I heard yesterday of a contractor near Mitchelstown had 3 Starfires stolen this week.

I think jd have been called out about it several times but have not given any response to it….Must be serious inside information about the exact location of these JD systems. About time JD got their fingers out
I'd certainly be of the opinion you wouldn't need to go far from the yard to find the culprits.I think jd have been called out about it several times but have not given any response to it….
If you were cynical you’d say it’s funny how the lads know where to go looking for the units, but being realistic I’d know where there’s 4 or 5 of them locally just from meeting the tractors on the road, it wouldn’t be hard work out where they’d be parked if you knew machines at all
You must know this area wellI'd certainly be of the opinion you wouldn't need to go far from the yard to find the culprits.
Several. That is why I have a Class tractor even the Romanians would not take it.Would the lads that were robbed have claas combines?
