Default Any Ideas For Organizing A Contractors Work Van?

All the scads of good ideas for
organizing your van are hexed by
one factor - The likelyhood of
getting ripped off.
I've tried so many different systems
it isn't funny, but for the last few
years I've just followed these
guidelines:
Drive a cargo van with no side or
back windows - If they can't see
in, why break in?
Lock it up no matter how long you
think you'll be away.
Keep the tools scattered around the
truck (you can do this neatly) so
that everything can't be taken in
one package.
Don't take anything you think you
won't need to a jobsite.
I know a contractor who made a
false floor about a foot deep in his
truck that has hatches and big
drawers. He did it for security reasons
and it seems to work pretty well for
him.
Lastly, call your local radio station
that runs ads for mega-fleamarkets
who tout "visit our giant outdoor
section for all kind of tool bargains,"
and protest.
