 looks good they wont get far with one of them , lot of money though.
would be cheaper to get  a length of RSJ from scrap man and concrete it in the ground . about 5 feet length  go in ground about 3 feet

One of my customers has some of those at the entrance to their farm, they hear it, I hear it, everybody hears it so a good idea I think

have a switch put in the van (in your own secret place)
it has to be flipped before you can use the key to turn the engine on

a friend did mine cost about £10, no one can take your van even with the keys

4 miles is ridiculous. Thanks for that info. I was going to use this but now I'll have 2nd thoughts.

Things are better now. If you buy an android phone you can install 'wheres my droid'. If it goes missing you can text your phone with 'track my droid' and the internal GPS in the phone will turn on and text you back its lat and long. These are much more accurate than the old nokia method.

GPS my droid is accurate to 4 feet not 4 miles. You might struggle to get a cheap GPS enabled android phone though.

like this idea,
something I may look into doing

[s.w.c]

the simple switch is best way so simple it gets missed by the toe rags, use original switches in the dash there is always a spare blank or disconect one you dont use, like this there is always room for another switch http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/99-02-VAUXHALL-VECTRA-1-8-DASH-SWITCH-/280581169275?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item4153f0e07b

then strip ignition area find ignition wire trace it back as far as it goes so its out of plain sight, then split it add extra wires for switch then solder it back tidy it up so its not noticed then attach the other wires to switch in dash, so it acts as a on , off switch for the live wire,

on my drive i use a quality night vision camera that goes to its own separate recorder and monitor and a couple of security lights with motion sensor so you cant get any place on my drive with out getting seen, i also have another night vision camera on front of house monitoring front garden in case they try come in across that way too, i also have a third camera in back garden monitoring that way too and another security light.

S.W.C how much did all of that cost you mate?

£375 ruffly i just upgraded my old CCTV system a few months back you can do it cheaper maplins do a set up for £199, but when you way it up against the gear we have for work its just the price of a carbon pole, i have sticker around the house warning CCTV is in 24hr use, Ive always had CCTV for years before as there is more money in my fishing gear than my work stuff,also i have a house alarm, it makes good deterrent they see a few cameras and security lights and the beware of the dog signs soon puts them off they will sod off and look for a easier job.

hi can i ask where you got this, do halfords do it?

[bobby p]

most vans need the key with code chip in it  to start it,so crooks break in the house to get the key.
  im thinking i should get a few new keys(with no codechip ) and scatter them around the house, with different key fobs .but only i will know the correct key fob

No disrespect Danny but are you saying nobody not even your customers, friends, or friends of friends, etc know where you live cos not being funny but I very much doubt it, you never know whos reading you posts, just better to keep it to yourself
