(CNN) - Russian troops in the occupied city of Melitopol have stolen all the equipment from a farm equipment dealership -- and shipped it to Chechnya, according to a Ukrainian businessman in the area.

But after a journey of more than 700 miles, the thieves were unable to use any of the equipment -- because it had been locked remotely.

I’m sure it can be EASILY overcome....even if you have to remove and replace operating units.

Don’t laugh too hard. Starting in 2024 our favorite government will be handed the same capability. So we best behave properly, if we want our cars to start.

Yep, people jail-break car computers all the time.

The Ukrainians have still lost the equipment.
I’m pretty certain farm equipment is important for Europe’s bread basket.
It’s not good news, merely a juvenile “Ha Ha” article.

I’m not so sure. John Deere has installed proprietary hardware, software, and firmware in their tractors.

Yes. So many people think this is funny. This will soon happen to you and your car or tractor.

Disagree with the Office of Disinformation? Well now your car will not start. Used your carbon allowance for the month? Your truck will sit in your garage and refuse to move. Want to plant corn instead of the soybeans the government wants you to plant? Whoops. Now your tractor will not start.

Did you speak out loudly at the last school board meeting? Your electricity has been cut-off until you attend “sensitivity” training.

This is a sign that the Russian army sees the writing on the wall, they can’t afford to occupy all of captured Ukraine, so they are heisting anything of value, before the eventual Russian withdrawal.

I’m sure they will burn and level everything of value that they can’t take with them..

What a bunch of greedy cut throat pirates!

I notice nobody is disputing that the russian army are an undisciplined mob of looters. Was expecting the full-court-press of “false flag” allegations from putin’s cheer section.

“I notice nobody is disputing that the russian army are an undisciplined mob of looters.”

Actually, we’re laughing at the claims.

The farm equipment was GPS-tracked right to Chechnya. So, how did the “azov nazis” pull that one off?

Most are not Putin’s cheer section.
Most want the US to concern itself with US interests.
This is a European issue. It’s time for Europe to find their spines.

Same thing happens to farmers who don’t make their equipment payments.

Putin’s cheer leaders work mostly in the morning. It’s 11pm in Moscow now.
