Reposting from a mate's FB account as I know lots of you guys are on the roads 24/7
Keep an eye out if you'd be so kind.



ERF ECT11 6x2 GK52 TZG, coupled to an SDC sloping bulk ally trailer (ex Fred Sherwoods) fully loaded with HE9 aluminium stolen from ETS secure yard in Dawkins Road, Hamworthy between 18:00 Friday 26th April and 07:00 Saturday 27th April

Nearest docks, sadly, en route to Africa.

The ECS / TGA are laughably easy to get into, following instances of them locking themselves up with the keys in the ignition we were issued with a work around that allows you to lower the windows and reach in for the keys. I remember a few of us showing an instructor at the factory in Middlewich how to do it. If it had a Cummins engine then no immobiliser fitted, as standard anyway. I always feel for owner operators as it's tough to make a living with the big players doing jobs for nowt.

I doubt it. As soon as I saw that it was a tipper I immediately wondered what was in it - they don't steal them for 25 tonnes of Type1. Id expect the ERF to turn up, although the alloy body might go the same way as the load.

If they can get rid of the load 'through a mate' then I'd expect the cab and trailer to go same way, still, can the OP ask the owner to send info to this page?:
