hi , i have my van stored down the side of my house and have the alko hitch lock, wheel clamp and a bollard concreted into the drive way .

you can put everything possible on them but it seems that if they want your van they will find a way of getting, it all you can do is make it as hard as possible for them so they move on to somebody else .

I see them only as methods of slowing them down as if they want it they will take it no matter what you have in place.

The Alko wheel lock is allegedly one of the best forms of preventative measure - though not the easiest to fit - interested to hear of any reports to the contrary? 

As everyone says most so called security measures simply slow down the detemined thief. Our 2009 Bailey Pageant Bordeaux was stolen when new from a silver standard CASSOA storage site and the insurance claim was mainly to cover damage done when they removed the security gear - Milenco wheel clamp/new wheel and Alko hitch lock/tow head unit, rear steady locks virtually useless.

Best advise is fit a tracker - though our DIY gadget wasn't turned on when taken, our van was located in 4 hours and recovered within 8.   

our tin tent is in a gold cossa storage yard with very good security measures, even so our 'van has an alko hitch lock, alko wheel clamp and cris tags fitted

but at the end of the day if some theiving numpty wants it bad enough ( don't think they try to nick ours anyway ,she's far too old) they'll have it ,all we as owners can do is put as many obsticles in their way as possible
