Putting Off The Work Vehicle Tool Thieves
Stealing work tools from vans and trucks is big business these days and many tradesmen are victim to this horrible crime each year. These tools are often specialized and are very expensive, causing the tradesman to have to spend money on new tools and also lose trade in the mean time as they cannot do their work. So what are the best ways to protect yourself against this problem?
Take tools out. The simplest way to avoid having your tools stolen overnight is to take them out of the van. You may not be able to stop break ins this way but you’ll certainly save some money if it does happen. However, people often stalk out a van for a while before they decide whether or not to break into it, so if you are seen to be taking your tools out every evening, there is less chance you will be a victim. Some tools are very difficult to remove each night however and so other security measure need to be put in place instead.
Sticker. Probably the cheapest way to deter criminals is to put a ‘no tools in this van’ sticker somewhere prominent. Most van leasing vans come with these on them already and they have much fewer cases of burglary. If you introduce all element of doubt into a thieves mind they are much less likely to risk a break in, opting for better odds elsewhere instead. Make sure you hide any tools from view however if you want to rely on this trick
High security. If you can get hold of a van that has a higher than average security level this will do you well. Citroen van leasing vans are well known for their security so these are a good choice. The kind of people who target vans will have a knowledge about the various security levels each one boasts. More often than not they will go for the easy picks
