Discuss Stolen tools in the UK Electrical Forum area at ElectriciansForums.net

The worst thing is that van manufacturers seem to do absolutely sweet fa to help the situation, doors are so flimsy, and standard locks are sh@t! My type of van is known for having a spot just above the handle that if you stab a knife or screwdriver through it hits the central locking wire and shorts it, opening all the vans doors! How hard would it be to reposition the wires out of the way really?! Manufacturers need to start to make them more difficult to access. I guess they don't give a sh@t either as it only ever makes them more money selling you a new door or locks and handles!
 
I had a Ford Granada and that could be opened by using half a tennis ball over the lock and giving it a whack, shown to me by the Police after the car had been broken into and my briefcase stolen from the boot.
 
I thought that Travelodge had a controlled barrier on the access road due to the two massive data centres that are on the same road. Someone will have let them in.
My truck was reversed up to the fence that goes onto the A102 main road. Fence bars have been prised apart, so access can be gained by someone slimmer than me. I feel like I handed it to them on a plate.
 
Latest trick is a petrol cutter and they cut out a huge section of roof .It takes them only a few mins . No elf and safety etc .They just rip into with the big cutter
 
Not in my experience, the majority of scrotes break into somewhere under the cover of darkness and do not want to be detected, they love security lights, but don't like cameras.
