Protect your tools

[Bingy man]

I imagine a lot members have there vans and shops protected but others may not . Every now and again the subject of security or worse one of us has had there van or workshop broken into causing loss of income and loss of expensive tools and equipment. I picked this letter up this morning and thought some of the information may be useful to others . This is from West Midlands police but I’m sure the police in other areas have similar schemes. The websites are however accessible to all . Again some of this is old news others may not be aware. Thanks

I remember when advice was do not lock your shed/workshop/vehicle as at least that way your shed/workshop/vehicle won’t get too badly damaged in a break-in, but, it never ceases to amaze me at the number of vans I pass left full of kit outside a job with doors wide open and no-one in sight

And then insurers decided that by not locking your shed etc you were responsible for allowing the breaking to happen and they could refuse to pay out so the advice changed to keep everything locked up like fort knox
