Ay up each...four suggestions

1 - Get a car derived van and rent a garage nearby...out of site out of mind, and it will be covered by house insurance.
or..
2 - Empty the van each night, pain in asre I know but just see it as part of your working day. With a borrow and stackable boxes this will take five minutes to load and unload.
or...
3 - connected with 2 above, have a van with windows in the back so when someone looks in the back they cannot see anything worth breaking in for apart from discarded beer cans and a couple of used johnies. Mind you the price of metal eh?!
or...
4 - Whilst on site, get a barrow and some stackable or lockable boxes and transport all your tools into the building. Again, pain in asre, but could save time going to and from van. Time is money.

Pastalavista baby!

Silver film over the rear window to stop people looking in.

My gloria has uncovered windows at the back (does have a metal grille). I only have my bag and a roller tool box which I take out. People are then free to look in the back see there's nothing worth nicking and walk on.... Although obviously this isn't practical for a larger van with lots of tools.

there are no tools left in this van overnight- why bother having a sticker like this?

my van i brought came from essex and it had previously ben broken into so they welded the side loading doors shut
took me a day to get them serviceable again

Move to an area where there aren't any scumbags then you don't need to worry about security. I rarely lock my van - unless there are tourists around

who would in their right mind move to an area where there is no work?
