THIEVES HAVE VERY EASY ACCESS INTO BACK OF DUCATO'S (PANEL VAN) LESS THAN 30 SECS PLUS AS I HAVE SOME LITTLE SCROTES NICKING MY TOOLS :bang:

WOULD TOO HEAR IF ANYONE HAS HAD THERE VAN DONE

30seconds is good time, most cars are 7-15 seconds

Well 5 secs, had a look after being done over and cannot believe how easy it is all they needed to do is spend as little as 50p on a bracket to shield the inside

brick through window is easiest, do you have insurance?

WELL 5 SECS just could not believe how easy it was to gain access after taking to internal card off for inspection, all they needed is to spend 50p on a bracket to solve it/protection Fiat,Peugeot and Citroen could not give a toss when i went to them.

no because its not viable to insure my tools due to cost of the insurance and excesses

most vans are easy, that is why people take tools out at night and/or fit dead locks

but thats your responsibility to take appropiate measures not the manufacture. All business users are advised to take out the appropiate insurance to cover losses and loss of earnings due to vehicle off road etc...especially in this day & age.

i have a labrador gundog but shes a rotten shot


seriously tho the police told my neighbor leave the van unlocked then they dont do any damage getting in what a world

If I leave my sat nav on the screen it will get nicked, same goes with your tools in my opinion!

I am going to intall a GSM alarm on my van + make the doors more secure, if you have a van you are going to have stuff in it you can only do as much as you can to deter theft.

yes i got my van broken into, they ****ted the xxxxxxx with a xxxxxxxxr. luckily there was no tools in the back but the bastards took the ****ing stereo. and ive got to **** about changing the locks. I am subsequently looking to fit deadlocks on all the doors, but i daresay some clever **** has a way of gettin round them too.

An entry alarm might be cheaper. One that has a very LOUD siren INSIDE the van:devil:

We fit pro plates or slam plates to these vehicles.
The toe-rags need to cut a hole in the side of the van if they want to get in.

Ladies and Gents please bare in mind that thieves could be reading this forum so be careful with what information you give out incase it can be used against you or a fellow ducato owner
