Such as <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">road motor graders<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, in the hands of the users in the public works departments.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The stolen grader at a value of over $5,000 is both a major investment of the public and a very important infrastructure equipment.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hunger had prior experience with the department and knew how to use the grader. Since he had been working in the department. Another reason why he was able to access the facility or machinery was that he was supposedly in possession of a key to the facility or machinery.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">He had access to the area with no visible security observed at the location. Which is what allowed the theft to take place without the alarm immediately.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The scenario highlights a bigger problem encountered by several municipalities. What is the structure on how to protect costly public equipment? yet we are able to sustain smooth operations to some extent.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The illegal possession of heavy machinery not only carries with it legal and financial hazards but also puts others at risk.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Role_of_GPS_Tracking_in_Rapid_Recovery\"><\/span><b>Role of GPS Tracking in Rapid Recovery<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The GPS device mounted on the highway motor grader assisted the police. Hours after its theft, real-time tracking placed it in Valentine. The police quickly recovered it before anyone could cause any damage.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Firstly, GPS technology is now prevalent in fleets of government and heavy machinery, as seen in this case. Secondly, they aid in recovery from theft and offer location history, usage, and security features for management of the fleet.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Lastly, this technology largely enabled the rapid recuperation of the grader.<br \/>\nWhich underscores the significance of GPS in the protection of public property.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Legal_Ramifications_and_Felony_Charges\"><\/span><b>Legal Ramifications and Felony Charges<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Authorities have charged Calvin Hunger with a Class 2A felony for stealing property valued at $5,000. This lead him to a 20-year prison term. He first appeared in court on Monday, with additional hearings to come.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">His prior work experience for the roads department would greatly influence the legal case. Indicating the action was intentional and based on inside information.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Furthermore, the prosecutors would be able to claim this severity due to the breach of public trust.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The case calls for a procedural change in employee turnover. Again, especially in the instance of valuable equipment though.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>You must return all the keys and deactivate access credentials to prevent future accidents.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Mission, South Dakota man is charged with a felony after he allegedly stole a &hellip; <a href=\"https:\/\/usedmotorgrader.com\/blog\/former-road-dept-worker-accused-of-stealing-road-motor-grader\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Former Road Dept.
