*Always lock all doors & shut windows, physically checking van doors are locked.

*Park in a garage or secure area where possible.

*Park with the doors against a wall.

*If you park on your driveway consider installing motion activated activated or doorbell CCTV.

*Be particularly aware when unloading.

*Remove tools from the van if possible.

*To increase the security of tools, you can bolt either a cage or box to the base of the van which should be secured with a sturdy close shackle padlock to reduce and deter further incidents.
