AlanS Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 The link tells all about where and when. What is worrying is that whoever took it broke into the house and stole the keys ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arthur Brown Posted April 12, 2014 Share Posted April 12, 2014 Sorry to hear about your loss. You have reminded me of the value of having a locked keysafe in the house. Does not stop the theft but makes them take longer and every second counts. We have key safe and alarm so they have to bust the key safe while the alarm is sounding.Then you have the security on the van, whatever that is. I have an Auto 2000 steering wheel lock. Another minimum of five minutes to get mobile together with whatever other security we may have. Security is like onion peel, one layer at a time, break in, break the keysafe whilst the alarm is sounding, enter van and remove steering wheel lock, overcome other security before able to drive off. Do not keep steering wheel lock key with the ignition keys otherwise that layer is compromised. There are those who say 'if they want it they will get it' and whilst I have sympathy with the comment we can make it very difficult by placing as many hurdles as possible in there way, none of which are the total answer but together may save the day. Hope yours is found soon. Finally, tracking devices are getting cheaper and cheaper to the extent that they are affordable to most. Arthur Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thewad Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Good post above, I wonder what the percentage is in any one year from motorhomes stolen compared to other vehicles, I also own a quad bike and these are high risk items and you can only get insurance if chained to ground anchor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tick 'attach a file after posting' I would guess most forums just use ,attach file meaning photo and it posts all at the same time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJay Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Looks like LHD?, so probably on the tunnel and over the continent by now, from KENT Must have known where the keys were, if they broke in and found them??, was any thing else taken?
