Mate has just had his brand new camper van stolen from outside his house.
Luckily, it has a tracker, and they located it about 3 miles away. Lots of
damage done to the electrics and so on. But they obviously managed to
drive it away, without the keys. So much for immobilisers.

Would a crook lock thingie or wheel clamp have made any difference in
these days of battery angle grinders?

Does make it a bit more obvious that the thief is up to no good and
that its not just the owner with a problem getting the van started

And its not hard to design the van with a crook lock thingie
that can't be easily cut with a battery angle grinder. Harder
to add one to a van which doesn’t have the designed in tho.

What happened with the alarm ? Did it go off and was ignored or did it
never go off ?
