Scum Of The Earth

[julesverne]

I read your message this morning but haven't had 5 minutes to scratch my ar*e hole to be able to reply with a reply I wanted to say.

Jules, from the bottom of my heart, thank you so much. I'll try not to get too soppy after all, we're all men here (huh hum) lol. Seriously, I actually got a lump in me throat when I read it driving in my van this morning, it's such a kind thing for you to do. You restored a little faith in me that I am losing very fast for human kind.

But without sounding like the most ungrateful w@@@er in the universe I will gratefully decline your kind offer as the boss gave me his anton yesterday when he replaced my van. Worst thing is, the back door was already f'd up from a previous engineer who crashed it and I had been telling my boss for ages that I didn't feel safe leaving all my tools in the van, even if the door locked, with a messed up back door. And the day before I was swapping it for my new van it got robbed..

Anyway, Jules, thank you mate I really appreciate what you did and if we ever cross paths I'll buy you a few beers!! 😉

no worries mate maybe someone in secret santa mightget it,
so if you've entered that you may well still get it LOL

Fit dead locks, wont stop the pro`s but will put off the average have a go tea leaf. Downside is they could attract attention to the van.

At the last count you`ve a 1-13 chance.

I'm not sure if toxic ted is still on this forum but when my van was robbed he sent me a personal PM & offered to post me a free Kane analyser he had spare! Luckily my analyser was not in the van that night, but a kind offer indeed 🙂

Bet APP has sent PM to Toxic already asking for it! lol

Yep, just gotta make it as difficult as possible... I got deadlocks, van alarm & van vault... The longer it takes them the less they will hang around. Espically with an alarm going off!

I also reverse up to a security post at night blocking the rear doors...

Add those super bright LED lights inside and that should make them pee in their pants.

I've got an 09 Transit which i'm pretty sure is alarmed and it has the double lock which means you can't open it from the inside (if someone smashes the window).

How easy is it to fit something like this?? Garrison Deadlock - Ford Transit (2006>>2014) : Van Locks & Van Security Store UK | Van Deadlocks | Van Slamlocks | ArmaPlate | ArmaCat, Buy Online | Vanlocks.co.uk

Any recommendations for extra locks?

I'd defs get deadlocks on a transit... Way too many skeleton keys for the transits!

I used locks4vans thatcham approved ones... I paid about 230 I think that included some guy to come out & fit them, very good service!

I had extra locks fitted to my connect (after I had my tools stolen) I tell anyone I see with a transit etc to get the locks added, they are specifically targeting these vans as they are do easy to get into.

Nice one. Have sent them an email about deadlocks all round for my Transit. Probably wouldn't use them in the day but would make me feel better to lock them all up at night. There's been a massive surge in burglaries and van break-ins lately near me.

Nice one, I just had the rear & side door done as I have a full metal bulkhead etc.. But I guess fitted to th from would also protect the van itself from theft?

I just lock mine at night, too muck of a fiddle to use during the day! The locks 4 vans one are good tho as they always look locked as the barrel is always in horizontal position!

 

[LPC]

I guess the deadlocks won't stop them wrenching the doors open with a massive bar though. I've got a vanvault on it's side in there with shelves in that is bolted to the floor and bolted to the construct behind it so I don't think anyones getting the good stuff anyway!! (not without making enough noise for me to go out and break their legs anyway)

Mate, night time or day time, thieves don't seem to care anymore. Long gone are the days of thieves wearing balaclavas and black outfits at night to rob stuff.. Mine got done in broad daylight in front of witnesses!

Reckon i'm going to turn my Transit into an armoured vehicle!

 

[plumben]

if you havent already got dead locks on your van fit them spend between 200-350 for two decent locks and make sure you've got a metal bulk head and any windows in the back caged over, fitting the locks is not difficult, you only need basic tools and a dremil or multi tool

there discreet and the average thief isnt getting past them, they wont waste there time
