Hate to upset you but they also smash the indicator light which allows them to open the bonnet catch and nick them from under the bonnet
They don't have to mess about with smashing things, I watched these 2 pull a 12 inch metal bar from coat, with a bend on one end, simply lie under front of van, reach up into engine bay on right hand side, just in front of air filter, hook bar over the bonnet cable, pull and bonnet pops open, 10 secs at most. Sleepers came today, chainsaw ready to fire up tomorrow, I have a plan/drawing.
Another thought for the OP - don't forget the spare wheel if hung ( Transit fashion) under the rear area. Not so expensive as a cat, but since the spare is ignored most of the time, it would only be noticed when needed. But still looked on by the usual culprits as a worthwhile item to steal .

Quick release cats.
Then get some old pipe, make sure it is blocked in the middle, and let the thieves steal the false, blocked tubes.
The people they sell them on to will do your dirty work for you.
So these exist? Then get some old pipe, make sure it is blocked in the middle, and let the thieves steal the false, blocked tubes.

Well, the first of 4 "van cat guard platforms" is built and ready for action.
Have to say, it works really well, when van is in place you can't even get you hand under the van, let alone your arm and a disc cutter.
Only another 3 to build, lol.

how will you immobilse the van so they dont roll it back?
To roll it back you have to push it up and over the sleepers, the front of van is 3 inches from the fence, we tried pushing it from the back with 5 lads and it wouldn't budge up the "slope".I think whatever you do, you can always think of a way round it, bar locking the van in a 6ft thick lead lined bank vault you will always be aware they can do something, just about trying to make it as hard as possible for them.
