How to Keep Your Van Safe from Thieves
Vans are crucial for many businesses across the country as a means of bringing goods and services directly to their customer base.
What You Need to Know
Try to avoid leaving tools and other items of high value in your van overnight. These items should be marked with a UV-pen and stored away safely in a lockable facility.
Ensuring that your van is parked in a safe place can minimize the risk of it being targeted by thieves. Parking in well-lit and CCTV-covered areas may result in intruders thinking twice before they target your vehicle. For vans with rear-opening doors, ensuring that it is parked tightly backed against a wall or similar can mean that thieves will not be able to access it through the rear doors.
Alarms which sound loudly in the event of a break-in may be enough to deter a would-be thief. GPS trackers are also an option that may increase your chances of tracking down a van that has been stolen.
Security film or mesh grills can make it harder for intruders to smash or gain entry via windows.
