It is a sad fact that thousands of workman from all over the country have their tools stolen from their work vans and trucks every year. Sometimes there are very expensive or specialized tools that are taken, costing the owner money to replace them and money through lost business.Lets look at the top ways to keep your tools safe?

Remove the tools. Taking your tools out of your truck or van and into your house is the only way you can make certain they will not get taken. This of course may not stop your van being broken into but will stop you losing valuable items. On top of this most thieves spy on their victims for a while to learn their habits and if you are seen taking your tools away with you every night, they will move on. Of course for some people this is just not practical and other tactics are required.

Sticker. placing a sticker on your van saying “All tools are removed overnight from this van” is an effective and easy way to put thieves off. Most commercial van leasing vehicles come with these on them already and they have much fewer cases of burglary. This is down to the fact that thieves play a percentage game and would rather target a van they are confident about rather than one they have an element of doubt about. Make sure you hide any tools from view however if you want to rely on this trick

Good security. Vans that have decent security in place already are great deterrents. Citroen van leasing vans are well known for their security so these are a good choice. Tool thieves are well aware of which types of van just pop open and which require more time and skill. 99% of the time a thief will opt for the easiest target
