FRIDAY – VAN AND TOOL SECURITY 🔧🚐 - CRIME PREVENTION

Your van may be part of your livelihood – and criminals know that tools stored inside can be valuable.

If you use a van for work:

🔒 Always lock it, including during short stops.

🧰 Wherever possible, remove tools and valuable equipment overnight.

🔐 If equipment has to remain inside, consider a security-rated lockable cabinet or secure internal storage system.

✍️ Clearly property-mark tools with identifying details or an appropriate property-marking system.

📸 Photograph valuable tools and equipment and keep a record of serial numbers.

👀 Don’t leave anything visible that suggests expensive tools are inside.

💡 Park in a well-lit and busy area whenever possible.

🚪 Consider additional security for the vehicle’s doors together with alarms, immobilisers or tracking systems appropriate for your vehicle.

Removing tools from a van may take a few extra minutes at the end of the day – replacing an entire set of tools can take considerably longer.

Tools are your livelihood – don’t make them an easy target.
