Not had tools stolen out a vehicle but I have had thousands of pounds worth of musical gear stolen before. Police weren't interested and wanted to just give me a crime number over the phone. They only came out and did some finger printing when I kicked up a fuss. Anyway, did my own investigating and it paid off, the 2 culprits were spotted red handed by the police trying to sell all my gear at a local music shop. They got away with a slapped hand because it was their first offence and they were minors. Utter tosh.
I won't ever leave anything in a vehicle overnight again. If I ever have my own van with tools I'll just empty it. I'd rather spend 30 minutes a night emptying it then have to try and claim it back from insurance. Oh yeh that was the other thing, when all my music gear was stolen the insurance company wouldn't pay out! They said i hadn't rang them to confirm by phone that I wanted to continue my policy, but they still took the money!
Be careful.
