Saw this video online today of a guy using the now infamous lock pick tool to open a ford van in around 30 seconds.
It is shocking that these picks are available online for around £20...
Its a reminder to all with Ford vans to fit extra locks, as it only takes a moment for somebody to steal your tools. If there is no sign of damage insurers are reluctant to pay out aswell.
spending £30 on a decent padlock and hasp system is still an improvement on the crap ford locks, at least when out and about it offers some extra protection. At night take everything out.
