Tool Theft in Broad Daylight: A Cautionary Tale for Van Owners
This past Friday, in an open car park by a main road and businesses in Bristol, a brazen tool theft occurred between 1pm and 3pm. The thieves used a crowbar to forcibly remove the entire Van Vault, making off with all the tools inside. The incident highlights a growing concern for van owners, especially those in trades where tools are essential to their livelihood.
Despite the presence of locks and security plates, which are often seen as a first line of defence, this incident serves as a stark reminder that they are only deterrents. In this case, the deadlock on the van was a damaged beyond repair, which now means the owner will need to replace the entire door.
To help prevent similar incidents, we strongly recommend van owners to invest additional security measures. Consider installing Ultimate Locks, External Shields, and Internal Latch Shields as further deterrents. These added layers of security could mean the difference between an attempt and the lose of essential tools.
Tool theft is not just a financial burden, it can disrupt your work and livelihood. Protect your investment by upgrading your van’s security today!
Ultimate Locks
The Locks4Vans Ultimate Courier Deadlock is a specific product designed to provide enhanced security for vans. Working independently from the manufacturer’s locking system, the lock is mounted externally, bracing the doors together, providing a strong visual deterrent. When you fit it hight in the door it also reduces the risk of bending down the door.
External Shields
The Locks4Vans External Shields are designed to reinforce and protect vulnerable areas of commercial vehicles, particularly vans, from break ins and theft. They help to reduce the risk of bodywork punctures that give access to internal lock mechanisms and door latches.
Internal Latch Shields
The Locks4Vans Internal Latch Shields are designed to reinforce and protect the internal components of a door latch mechanism fitted on your vehicle. They are typically used in commercial vehicles such as vans, to enhance the security of the door latches and prevent unauthorised access or tampering.
Stay safe, protect your tools, and let this serve as a reminder to never underestimate the importance of van security.
