What pipe carriers do people have on their vans, and would you recommend what you've got?

I decided not to have an aluminium tube like Rhino, because there was a spate round here of the carriers themselves being nicked for the scrap value of the aluminium, so I currently have a length of soil pipe that I carry bits and bobs of overflow, waste, etc. in, but twice now I've had an end cap nicked off it, which is a pain as I then need to empty it out before driving anywhere so the pipes don't fall out when the van's moving.

Also I can't easily carry full 3m lengths of copper in the van so I'm thinking of getting a carrier. It needs to be strong and lockable (and the locks need to be hard to break), so that I can leave a bit of copper in it and not worry too much.

Suggestions please?
 
I have truk rax pipe rack. Does me, but I only use a light weight padlock. If they want in they'll get in, with mine the can have a look without wrecking the rack.
 
Same as Gasman but my front doors all bent from shoving pipes down to hard had to hammer it back straight yesterday
 
Same, but the locks snap easy. The rhino looks a better job.
 
I doubt the rhino's too happy with your shoving your pipe up its derriere!

Shouldnt imagine there to happy being tied on top of a van either! And a bugger to coax up there.
 
What van, is there any way of getting them inside?

It's a Vauxhall Combo. I can get 3m lengths in diagonally and rest them on the dashboard, but then my mate has to hold on to them otherwise every time I go round a roundabout they slide across and smack me on the side of the head!
 
No pipe carrier Bad idea. They are a magnet for thieves. I always hide my pipe in the van under dust cloths etc.
