It is a sad fact that thousands of workman from all over the country have their tools stolen from their work vans and trucks every 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 how can you make your tools in your truck or van as safe as possible?
Remove the tools. Taking your tools out of your truck or van and into your house is the only way you can make certain they will not get taken. Your van may still be opened up but there will be nothing in it to lose. 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. Of course for some people this is just not practical and other tactics are required.
Sticker. placing a sticker on your van saying “All tools are removed overnight from this van” is an effective and easy way to put thieves off. Most van leasing vans come with these on them already and they have much fewer cases of burglary. This is down to the fact that thieves play a percentage game and would rather target a van they are confident about rather than one they have an element of doubt about. Make sure you hide any tools from view however if you want to rely on this trick
Good security. Vans that have decent security in place already are great deterrents. Citroen van leasing vans are well known for their security so these are a good choice. Tool thieves are well aware of which types of van just pop open and which require more time and skill. More often than not they will go for the easy picks
