Thats not good.

Any chance of being able to get out to work whilst your insurance is fannying about?

Yeah I will look to rent a van mounted system in the meantime before buying a new van and kitting it out.

Does anyone have any recommendations?

I think Alexander Swan the insurance people who advertise on here rent out their vans with PF systems fitted. Only Number I can find is 01793616773 hope it's good 'cos I'm insured with 'em.

Best of luck with getting your van back, hope all goes well, please post the newspaper report of 'Van stealing scum battered by irate window cleaner and mates' in the near future.

I had my 2008 Ford Transit Van nicked last night. Was parked just across the road from my flat in Worcester Park, Surrey.

Its white (not sign written as only had it 6 weeks) Reg is: LD08 KVW.

Has a 2 man 500l tank + poles, guttervac and trad ladders etc.

I know it's a very long shot but if anyone sees or hears anything my number is 07935 382 279. Reward will be given if you help me recover it.

Also stark reminder that there are scum out there so may be worth people upgrading their own van security.

Cheers,

Kay

Sorry to hear about this.

[Caleb Morley]

Sorry to hear this

We have gone all out on our vans as unfortunately you can steal a ford transit mk7 and the ford custom/connect in under 2 minutes if you're good at it.

Replaced the lock on drivers side with an unpickable lock and OBD port has been immobilised.

[Dave Willis]

Years ago I used to have a hidden switch on my campervan to isolate the ignition. Even with the keys you couldn't start it. I've also swapped the HT leads about when a hire company breached their contract and tried to pinch the car back with their second set of keys.

[Smurf]

Has it been found yet?

[Clever Forum Name]

Hidden switch for fuel pump is a good trick

[duncan h]

Disconnect OBD port.
like you say. hidden isolator switch. We all used them in the 80/90's when car theft was massive

[mike1986]

I know what a horrible experience that is! I had my van stolen about a year ago with all equipment etc. Thought there's no way I'll see that again. However the police found it a few days later without a scratch on it and still had most of my gear in there(minus a £1500 pressure washer).  I put the word out on Facebook, forums etc and within 2 days it had been shared a few hundred times and I honestly think that's what scared the thieves into abandoning it. I'm sure you've done the same but you never know it might just work.

[Marc Stock]

Hi Caleb.

Hope you find it. Ill keep my eyes peeled

[Caleb Morley]

Might be worth posting on facebook and also contacting the local press too. I take it you have also informed the dvla its been stolen and stopped the road tax on the van.
