Just wondering as I need an alarm for my own van.

thanks

Mark,

The alarm was a 'Maple Commercial Vehicle Alarm', as fitted by BT to their vans.

A witness heard the window smash, the alarm sound and the van speed off "all within seconds". Professional vehicle thieves will overcome most alarms in a surprisingly short time.

I now have an alarm that cost over £250 plus an imobiliser which cuts the deisel and electrics and am concidering a pedal locking mechanism made from a section of steel girder.

Hope I never loose my keys  ::)

John.
