Rash of Snowplow Blade Ripoffs
| Latest NewsPolice in the Attleboro, Massachusetts area are advising landscaping businesses that do snow removal and others to chain plow blades to immovable objects, following a rash of thefts from local contractors. They warn that other heavy maintenance equipment is also at risk.
Total Lawn & Landscape, in North Attleboro, has been hit twice in two months. In the first theft, thieves made off with $10,000 of equipment. In the second heist, it lost $12,000 in snowplows and plow controllers.
According to the authorities, unattended plow blades are a high value target. They can easily be resold, or redeemed as scrap metal.
