van security, which is best

[KNIPEX]

ford transit, connect vans mate have a deadlock system, basically if they smash a window the doors still wont open, also get a full metal bulkhead between the seats so they cant just jump over, and im a lover of vanvault, once they are in all the expensive tools are in a vault they cant just smash and grab so to speak.

I'd love to leave a police dog in the back overnight.......see what happens when some unwashed street urchin chances his arm then!!!!

A mate of mine has two dam big bruser rottys in his van i got 1 but i dont leave tools in van and my van has cctv pointing at it as well as a pillar light with the pir hidden behind the wall if that lets me down then its a trip to get a manikin of the mother in law to sit in the van over night ! that will scare the bajesus out of the little jems !
and if all that fails me then sod it i'll wire it up to the cutout and when they get zapped i'll say to the ploice the thievin bleeders tried to thief me power as well !

The connect won the most sercure van award a few years back on whatvan I think, I have never personally heard about anyone getting one done over. The only supossed weak spot is the wiring loom to the back doors which can be potentially be cut with a sharp knife according to armoplate who conviently make the guards to protect this vunerable area I don't think i would have the strength to cut through it.

Ever thought about electrifying the van? Crocodile clip on the wheel arch, you get the idea.... Little buggers.

I recommend an estate car with lots of lovely windows to see that theres nothing inside, and clearing out every night. What have you got that necessitates a whole van?

would be a nice thought but for that that case with the guy that electrified his cosworth sierra years ago cos it had been stolen twice.
sadly he went to jail

if you've got an existing alarm stick a volt free relay on the existing sounder output instal a banshee siren .
If it dosent stop'em ( if your close enough long enough some can make your ears bleed ) at least everyone in a half mile radius will know about it

You can get a big Van Vault for £165 from Toolstation. It's pretty obvious that all my tools are in there if anybody was to peer through the back window.

Hi, It's really nice to read your all comments here about the car security because I am also looking for such project for making secure my own van. I already have lost one. so I must say thanks for sharing all these information.

Victor, I agree with you. I have gone through all the posts in this forum and learnt a lot about van security and the precautions to be taken to keep my van safe.

i find these work very well


seriously though a van vault and motion sensor with a very loud siren works pretty good
