There is a huge number of power tool thefts from vans, the idea is yu
can disable the tool and/or track it's location.

Hum, when I was in the US a few years ago, there were lots of thefts
of Apple laptops, iPhones, and the like from parked cars, and clearly
very precisely targetted. Someone had worked out you could tell what
was in the car by the bluetooth signals emerging.

If they haven't got this exactly right, that white van is advertising
a significant bounty to the tech savvy criminal...

You would have to get within less than a metre with tracing equipment
for rfid to work. Less than that usually as most of the systems are
designed for 100mm range (car keys, pet chipping etc) Some industrial
systems can read a pallet ID as it passes through a warehouse door but
the tags have to be bigger too to get a decent aerial aperture.

Good to see you around Dave :-)

Metabo used to have a range with a remote locking fob, cannae find it now.

Tracking with Bluetooth isn`t going to be beyond a few meters unfortunately.

Getting your drill hacked would be annoying ;-)

It claims to tell you where your phone was when it was last within 100m
of the tool.

There is *some* value to such a hint, e.g. I managed to leave my phone
in the back of a dingy 19" rack last Thursday (I'd been using it as a
torch).

By the time I realised on Friday that I didn't have it at home, the
battery was flat, but the Device manager app on my tablet could tell me
where it was last, so I didn't have to worry about it having fallen out
of my pocket in a supermarket or polling station car park!

But could well help a prospective thief to know for sure they are in the
van. ;-)

Yup. Make it out of something strong and it will be more used against
theft than BlueTooth.

Yes, just think. You could make the van out of metal...

I suspect an all-tin back - no windows - would kill a lot of signal.
Anybody know how well a mobile phone works in the back of a no-windows van?

Andy

Why would you want one?
