Something like this maybe?

Something like that i guess.....too big to hide in the device iteslf but would go in the carry case though having gps tracker written on it is not really going to work lol but i could paint over that and maybe label it as a necessary accessory for the analyser then hopefully it will just be ignored as i doubt very much they've any idea what the analyser is all about anyway !!

Funny I was looking for something similar for my bicycle this morning! It seems you can get small GPS devices that include what is basically a mobile phone and PAYGO sim. Once armed if it detects movement then it sends SMS messages with the position. More expensive ones can be tracked online at any time but there is a trade off with battery life.

On the other hand have you thought about better securing the van? I.e alarm and securely anchoring any high value equipment? I guess you might have the issue of providing the thieving scroatbags with the tools to break locks.

Yes, also looking into deadlock or slamlocks This is getting expensive lol......

Not even sure how they got into my van as there was no damage and it was locked so can only think they scanned me using my key fob

Dead locks are a must, just had mine done, locks4vans dead locks fitted, thatcham approved alarm with text alert, so I know if it's being broken into.

Security isn't cheap, but it's cheaper than new tools

How do you get on with the locks ? Are they a pain, assume you have to manually lock and unlock all the time ?

I don't find them a pain at all, yeah you have to lock them or risk getting your tools nicked. Unfortunately slam locks are the only other alternative and you have to unlock them every time you shut the door.

I think slam locks sound preferable to me....... Just thinking how annoyed I would be if in a moment of rushing or laziness I didn't lock the deadlocks and I got turned over !
