security

Has anyone bought and fitted a catalytic lock to their vans? Can you recommend one? Lots on the market and we've had 2 stolen in the village in the last 2 months.

As per the title really. Would like to move the ODB port, but being non-mechanical, would be good to understand what switches/panels need "popping" off to do it before I attempt it! Thanks

Bloke knocks the door this morning. "Is that your transporter,sir.nice isn't it" Then goes on about how van theft is rife atm..and how easy they are to steal. Wanted to etch my VIN number into the glass and lights for £40. Rough looking chap..drove a white transporter.

Sorry video not the best due to it being dark but you can see 3 youths walking past on the other side of the road. One appears to be carrying a open laptop. They stop opposite next door for a few seconds...

Hi I was thinking last night about van theft and had an idea if you disconnected the clutch down switch,then even if they stole the keys they still couldn’t start the van as it would think the clutch wasn’t down and show depress clutch on mfd. if you had a switch hidden away glove box ,under...

Hi all, As the title says, some shit has put their scrawny little mitt through our letterbox and robbed a set of keys out of the front door. They've been through the van and taken some stuff, which is annoying, but more concerning is that they now have a key and know where I live. I just called...

New Van comes on 1st may. What are peoples thoughts on a retractable security bollard or post? Are these things pretty solid? would a thief be able to bypass or pick it?

Hi All, As in the heading really anyone got CCTV for when parked up wild camp or camp sites to see around the van at night ? any lighting bars added to vans for lighting up roads and camps pics and info appreciated if you have done such work. joe

I have a question, brought about by a recent series of thefts/burglaries in the area. As my van is primarily a work van, it generally has a bit of kit in it, I am specifically insured for my work equipment but I suspect there is no interior monitoring in the back of my van? It still has the...

Hi everyone, I'm looking for recommendations for upgrading the head unit to have European nav, carplay, and integrate with the standard reversing sensors & MFD if possible. I'm also looking for recommendations for a reputable retailer/ installer who can take on that job and tracker...

Hi, Does any one have one of these and are they any different to the foot claws and similar pedals locks around.

A house up the road was broken into a couple of days ago and the car keys stolen. This has got me looking into some security. Im in the process of changing the locks, and have spent the day installing a burgler alarm. The next stage is some cctv. Im after a couple of half decent ip cameras but...

Hi, I’m going to be the proud owner of a t6.1 highline conversion in 4 months time. Question is how good is the standard security system? Are t6’s and t6.1’s targeted for thefts etc? I’m already looking at an additional camera on the drive, hopefully I’m not going to be too over protective.

One well place hole drilled in the side door and that’s all my power tools gone and my golf clubs. Gutted, I really hate thieves
