Report a stolen truck or commercial vehicle

Trucks, prime movers and their loads are high-value targets, and downtime costs a business daily. VIN, fleet numbers and livery photos help police and insurers act fast.

The identifier that gets it back: VIN / fleet number

VIN on the chassis rail and rego; record fleet numbers, livery and any telematics unit IDs.

Types we watch

  • Rigid truck
  • Prime mover
  • Light commercial / van
  • Tipper
  • Trailer & body
  • Load & cargo

How theft and resale play out

  • Cargo is often the real target — the vehicle is dumped once emptied.
  • Fleet livery and telematics IDs make a re-listed truck easy to flag.
  • Fast reporting matters — a working truck off the road costs money every day.

If yours is already gone

  • Report it to police and keep the event/reference number.
  • Register the truck or commercial vehicle on Theftsight (or mark it stolen) with the vin / fleet number and photos.
  • Share the record with your insurer — they can work the same candidate queue.
  • If a listing matches, export the proof pack — never confront a seller alone.

Put your truck or commercial vehicle under watch

Register it in two minutes — private by default. If it's stolen, Gumtree, Facebook Marketplace and eBay are scanned against it, and police and insurers on the network can see the case.
