Mark Your Tools -

Take a photo of the serial number or identifying marks

Engrave your initials or a memorable word

Use an ultraviolet pen

Remember to mark your batteries too

Register Your Tools - 

Register your tools and serial numbers on a national property recording database such as immobilise www.immobilise.com/ 

Secure Your Vehicle - 

Make sure your vehicle is locked. Even if you are popping back and forth to grab tools, criminals only need a moment to empty your van. Consider purchasing dead locks or slam locks. Security cages can also be installed inside your van.

Install a Dashcam or CCTV - 

Consider purchasing a dash cam or CCTV camera to deter criminals from targeting your van. Alarms are also good deterrents if one is not already fitted

Empty Your Van - 

Where possible, empty your van of the tools overnight - don't give criminals the opportunity to empty your van for you
