That rip can be welded over with a plate 
Sympathise with you, to**ers  to do that.
Van alarmed and a camera, house alarmed, cctv with panning cameras operated by phone so can check even when away from home.  Too many thieving gits around.

why do this this ? so when the hoodies come round you will get a nice image of what evers printed on there top ? because cameras don't stop vans getting done over one bit but I guess you will have a video of them doing it to reply over to upset yourself more
Hi windowswashed, I'm thinking about getting a cctv system for our house, yours with panning cameras operated by phone
sounds interesting, would you mind telling me what make it is.

I agree, a hood, scarf or mask will make them unidentifiable so  cctv will be as good as an ashtray on a motorbike.
A bright security light with motion sensor and/or an audible warning message or alarm triggered by a sensor would be more effective in my opinion.

and a good old fashioned alarm with a sencer they can see , they will see it and move on to a easyer van in the street

Any of you guys see robocop? Forgot what the big beast police robots were called (not robocop but the other ones), it might be a little over the top but i would want them! Simple warning message "you have 5 seconds to comply!"
Or same message with motion sensor machine guns!!
Maybe a slight active imagination i know,  but dont you get tired of all the added extras or effort you have to go into because of trying to actually earn a living for yourself or family!
Even tho i have cctv, i eould agree that they are a waste of time combined with the great law n order service we have.
I reported a theft from the rear of my garden and that i had cctv and a image of the 2 lads. The "bill" filled me sith confidence when they came out 3 weeks later to ask if i could show them the image to circulate

What about getting a Trunk Monkey, all you need is a flap on the bulk head.

If they break in  whilst I'm out they can say hello to my lovely dog who just loves growling and flashing her teeth,  loves growling at strangers personally if they break in, they can leave by ambulance, I couldn't give a toss for the welfare of any burglar

They would take the dogs for bait round where I live.
I take my dogs with me. One of them barks when people go near my van. Always running round from the back of houses to see who it is

we have been following this a lot due to having a transit jumbo with a truck mount fitted , with this and a tracker jammer you can get off ebay for less then 2 pounds we have gone back to the good old fashioned paddle lock,   also looking in too fiting a wireless unit that's hocked up to the house alarm so if on a night they try and get in it the house alarm will go off as we can set it in diffent zones

[duncan h]

I park mine so you cant get in back doors or driver door. Always dead lock at night. Not much more I can door. Had my mk 5 side window smashed so they could look in it. Nobody heard anything. So noisy where I live

[Tosh]

I had a Cat4 Thatcham alarm fitted when I bought my Cutom. I also have the following steering wheel lock



I'm just about to order external CCTV. The van is always reversed up to the house. Nothing more can be done.

Yep my mate in less than a year had his new transit just completley lifted away with tools, he's a builder. Bought new van and tools and they emptied his van of the tools.
 I'd suggest fitting them rape alarms to the doors. Yes they're a pain in the arse when you forget theyre on and you open the doors, but they do do a great job. They're only cheap too, about a fiver a pop. There is no way anyone is hanging around if you trigger one of them.
 With CCTV all you'll be able to do is look back at the footage of who robbed you.

Thatcham 4 basically only means you've got locking wheel nuts...its not an alarm system it's a category


Customs come with a thatcham 1 rated alarm system as standard


Edit - sorry, depends on the model you've got its only the limited and sport with the thatcham 1

[Tosh]

The van already had an alarm system fitted, I had a Thatcham alarm fitted on top of the custom one.

[Don Kee]

I believe you lol just saying that a thatcham 4 is locking nuts etc...assumed you went for tracker type thing?

Out of interest what model do you have and do you know what was fitted on top of thatcham 1 stuff?
