- Normal milk deliveries commence between 4.00am – 4.00pm. Anything outside this time may be a stolen vehicle or load.
 - Thieves generally load trolleys in an untidy manner.
 - Is there another vehicle drawing attention to itself; a decoy car or van driving erratically?
 
- Is the lorry logo obscured or from a distant location?
 - As the majority of dairy companies mark their assets, vehicles carrying mixed assets could indicate the vehicle is carrying stolen equipment.
 
Reporting
a theft
- All identified thefts of trolleys should be reported to the police.
 - Major thefts should be reported by telephone in the first instance, using the local non-urgent line. They may require the attendance of a police officer.
