Vehicle tracking recovers stolen van in less than an hour
Vans and their contents are high on the list of and rich pickings for thieves. On average, the monetary value of tools, equipment, and other necessary items that most businesses have inside their vans can be about or well exceed £1,500. Should the worst happen and your van is broken into or stolen altogether, it could cause a huge financial strain on your business. It can also cause emotional stress and take up valuable time for the police when trying to locate the van if it was stolen.
There are several security measures and tools available out there that can help reduce the risk of becoming a target for thieves. I wanted to share a recent press release I read from TRACKER, the stolen vehicle recovery (SVR) specialist, about how their range of SVR products played a key role in helping police locate and return a stolen van belonging to Mark Keel, of KD Doors in Lanarkshire.
The van was stolen from one of his engineers who had been out on a job, but because his fleet of vans had been fitted with an SVR device, the technology aided the police in finding the van within less than an hour. The system is operated by and provides support to all UK police forces.
So, how does the device work? TRACKER explains, “TRACKER’s range of SVR products work like electronic homing devices. A covert transmitter is hidden in one of several dozen places around the vehicle. There is no visible aerial, so the thief won’t even know it’s there. Unlike other systems, TRACKER’s devices work no matter where the vehicle or equipment is hidden, even if taken abroad.”

As I mentioned earlier, there are several ways to secure your van which include: alarms, immobilisers, locking wheel nuts, lockable fuel caps, bonded Vehicle Identification Numbers (VINs) on the dashboard, handbrake lock, steering wheel locks, and even warning stickers displayed on the outside of the van may help to deter thieves. Whichever method you choose, stay safe and if the worst happens, hopefully you will be back on the road in no time with minimum stress, hassle and disruption.
