I work in the access control/security industry and would agree with the points already made..... Any security is better than none.

You only need to be more secure than next door, if you want to deter the casual thief, make your stuff more difficult to get than the next target. If a 'proffessional' or determined thief wants your stuff. Chances are they are going to get it unless you spend a small fortune on equipment.

My insurance insisted that I add a security post along with my hitchlock and wheel receiver clamp or they wouldn't insure me so I bought one and concreted it in. It wasn't too expensive and may just deter the casual tea-leaf.

I can only agree with all of the above,

If a thief wants your van he will get it no matter how much security you have, locks are only a deterrent, Our van is fitted with wheel-clamps, ground anchors, alarmhitch lock and drive post,  we also have atracker, but hope we will never need to use it!!

Remember:  Locks only keep honest people out!!

As others have said if they really want it they will have it and this goes for not just caravans. However the more we can do to slow them down or deter the more chance of the thief moving on to a caravan that may not have much security.

The other option to consider is should the thief be ablet o get hold of the carvan fit a tracker device so that there is some chance of recovering it.
