Tools are essential for your business, and losing them to theft can be devastating. Leicestershire Police is urging van owners to take extra precautions to prevent theft from van crimes.
✅ Top 5 Tips to Keep Your Kit Secure:
Lock up every time – Double-check doors before leaving your van. If you have a keyless entry, invest in a signal blocker.
Add extra security – Consider an alarm or internal security cage for tools and equipment.
Park smart – Use a garage if possible. If not, park in well-lit areas or install security lighting on your driveway.
Remove tools overnight – Don’t leave them in your van. Use a sign stating tools have been removed. Staying in a hotel? Keep tools in your room.
Mark and register your tools – Engrave or use forensic marking kits and display a deterrent sticker. Keep a list of serial numbers at immobilise.com.
