That the Parliament notes NFU Mutual's Rural Crime Report 2026, which found that the estimated cost of rural crime in Scotland increased by 14% to £1.4 million during 2025, in contrast to a 6% decrease across the UK as a whole; recognises the significant impact that rural crime, including theft of agricultural machinery and equipment, can have on farmers, rural businesses and communities; welcomes the work of organisations, including the National Rural Crime Unit and the Scottish Partnership Against Rural Crime (SPARC), in tackling offending and supporting rural communities; notes that the Equipment Theft (Prevention) Act 2023 enables theft prevention measures such as immobilisers and forensic marking to be installed as standard on certain agricultural equipment elsewhere in the UK; believes that consideration should be given to whether similar measures could strengthen efforts to deter theft and improve recovery rates in Scotland, and calls on the Scottish Government to continue working with Police Scotland, industry representatives and rural stakeholders to address the growing challenge of rural crime and to better protect those who live and work in Scotland's countryside.
