Van Tool Storage

[amlu]

i have a tool chest on wheels, keep all my power tools in there, take it home at the end of the day.
only working solution.
if scumbags cant crack the van vault they will nick the van.

Locks etc are all well and good, but they don't help if the scrotes turn up with a hiab truck and pick the whole van up and take it away.
This is an increasingly popular way of stealing landrovers these days, to the point that some owners chain their landy down to steel rings cast into the concrete driveway.

here have a look at this dave.

bmw's etc have had a bug for at least 6 months where they could be remotely started without the key.

some you could remote unlock, start then drive away lol.

have a look at some of the crazy talks at defcon and blackhat.

they hacked some wireless camera's, looped the video so the users would see a loop and they would see the real one.

the scary thing about these with ip camera's is, if they can get hold of the firmware they can do this.

the only way for an ip camera to remain secure is;

1. too expensive for the average person to afford
2. cant download firmware/updates with having bought the product

I don't even bother dead locking half the time. Live in a safe area (robbers round here are after millionaires, not vans), and all the tools are the company's, quite lucky like that really.

I live in a really nice area, opposite a reservoir, rural, no bobbys ont beat etc. Van got done over 2 nights ago. You can't go off area OR get complacent. If someone sees whats in your van and wants it...

Hand tools would be a bit of a nightmare haha, as would radio but, it should be alright. Tbh, I've always dead locked it overnight, but got whacked up the arse, had a hire van for months, and haven't been dead locking since I got my van back.

And don't tempt fate! I get enough bad luck as it is haha.

I had my van broke In to and the b******s cleaned me out. Testers, drills, iPad but the one that really peed me off was my hand tools as obviously built them up over years and aren't hardly going to be worth anything to any one else (Apart from another spark I suppose).

All I actually care about in that van is my hand tools, so maybe I should start dead locking again haha.
