You think vans that are signed are broken into more than unsigned vans?

Tbh these days any van is at risk
I would say there more likely to break into non sign written vans just to have a look

Crackheads got my firm van this morning and got my parking money £60 little effers!! I think I know who it is too cos they tried to nick my gag of copper from the front on my flat inside our gated courtyard.. they left 2 satnavs.. I'd rather they stole those then my parking stash lol now I gotta go bank again
Are strong boxes any good?

Strange you should post this Jay , we are having major problems up here with scrotes bending the side loading doors open with there bare hands. My van is sign written and personally I think any tradesmans van is a target. The sign writting is still on mine but I dont think I would do it again , but you have to balance out the fact that a sign written van looks better when drawing up to a customer's house . Its a tricky one !!
I know what you mean.. think I'm gonna get a tuffbox van box, I've had slam locks fitted too which are safer then deadbolts as it disables the van handles and bypasses central locking. End of the day, if somebody wants to get in, they'll get in. No van is c*** proof. Guess you just need to make it secure as poss and hope it don't happen to you! Agee with the sign written van though, looks professional to custards and estate agents love it
Just get decent insurance, as I agree if they want to they will get in
Prof is ours they ram raided the big roller doors (with steal pins ) and then broke into the van
My van is not sign written and was broken into .
I would say certain trades are higher risk however in my case I did have a few bits on show in the front

I'm ultra paranoid about this. Our vans are stored inside an secret location building which isn't marked up with our company name. The building is on a monitored security alarm with CCTV and all the vans have their own alarms too. I can't really do much more to prevent people finding out about them and nicking them/stuff in them to be honest.
Can't get sensible insurance to cover the cost of them being broken into really so my view is out of sight out of mind.

Problem is croft people see them pulling in / out so tbh not worth not having your name on it
Your only stopping the people that don't know the area

If it says plumber or joiner on the side. The toe rags know there's loads of power tools inside.
If it says builder. There's a possibility of a sthil saw, with a broken pull chord and a bucket of old trowels.
For that reason, there's no signwriting on my van. At least then they are taking a guess what's inside.

Exactly and your employees will eventually blabber where the vans are .
Only so much you can do , i take a the power tools out and hand tools the fittings and lesser items can stay .
Hahaha that's funny.. but whose got time to unload and load the van twice a day! Think I'll just take my most expensive stuff out and hope I don't get done!
The temptation to leave a 240 volt tool with live fault to casing would be too great.
