Police too busy helping a snowflake thats been offended

You can’t call them SNOW flakes. That implies a “white only” exclusion .

Kind of like Jim Davidson and his black mate, “chalky”

Out of interest has anyone ever head of a van vault getting broken into when the vehicle is parked up?

 

[SparkySy]

yes I have a mate that does Steel frame buildings who had his van broken into and vault broken open, all his kit was gone, that was in a hotel car park with cctv and they got a van coming into the car park and park next to his van sliding door to sliding door. They were there 12 minutes in total. Van vault lid looked like a crumpled piece of paper, they think that some sort of hydraulic jaw was used to force either side of the lock till it bent and gave up!
Van was on false plates and you didn't see anyone get out of it as it was all done from the sliding door, proper criminals!

 

[sparkdog]

Not very encouraging, yes I have heard of the sliding door trick.

 

[SparkySy]

Apparently they were in the van in seconds (Ford transit) didn't set the alarm off or anything so quite happily got on with the vault hampered by someone hearing the alarm. 12 mins is pretty fast they must of been good at it, God only knows how many vans they could of done in a night at that pace!

Could mig-welding loops onto either side of the vans sliding doors, with 3 different makes of padlocks going through each loop prevent it? I swear i saw something like that on the back of Vauxhall combo van once.

Best bet it to whittle your tools down into something that can be wheeled into your house.
I do take all my tools out every night a pain I know but it's the only way!

I totally agree. Doesn't take long to move them in and out once you have them condensed down into boxes and bags. I reckon a wheeled trolley system would be best for this job, But I manage with a couple of toolboxes and a couple of bags.

Sad to say but if you want to keep your tools these days you've got to look after them. Plenty of daylight robberies to vans too in problem areas so sometimes you just won't win.

I understand that if you fix a van vault to the deck, they have more chance of using an hydraulic jack on the lid. Then again, if you don't bolt it down they will remove it all in one. Not sure what the answer is there?

 

[DT1991]

I know someone who had his van set on fire, if they cant get in or get van vault open they will just set it on fire haha! Not funny in that sense but funny is the sense enough to make you go mad!

If I thought I could get away with it, I wouldn't think twice about it.

If I thought I could get away with it, I wouldn't think twice about it.

No wonder police are monitoring the internet so much when people are bandying about idle threats of murder.

Electrify the van, as previously mentioned



You'd be surprised at the opposite, NHS vans, biohazard disposal companies and radioactiv waste handlers often get targetted by "dirty bomb" makers etc

How about Nappy disposal services?
