Or empty out your house and put all expensive items in a vault. Either way a victim is a victim, the victim gets criticised no matter what....... if a man gets attacked and as a result gets stabbed, should he or she have been wearing a stab proof vest???? If you store your tools in your she'd or house, they'll break into your house......Yes I will be installing an alarm on my van but how much should I do? Alarm, empty out van, extra security locks. What I did do back in my early years, not lock the van but just have an alarm set, when a so called oportunist came along they would try the handles and once door opened the alarm would trigger and the perpetrator would scarper!
