Winter theft prevention

[gasgas]

To discourage The Borrowers I have removed a road wheel and the steering wheel. Actually I do have one of those Gold Seal Wotnot Approved steering wheel clamps but in reality they can be got around and it is easier to remove the wheel.


I have now put a waterproof covering over the disc. In case you were going to send me a message telling me I need to do that . . . . . .

Ours is worth more if it gets nicked !!!

Good idea, Transits definitely seem to appeal to a certain type of the population

A neighbour had a brand new Transit based Transit taken,the next week I saw a photo of the body as ashes of and in a yard in Essex. It seems nobody there knows about who had it. It now has a tipper body and another cab?

You're safe now. You've already removed the only bits worth stealing!

I did see somebody walking around earlier with a steering wheel and a road wheel looking to nick a transit.

You do need to think about where this is (and isn't) a good idea.

Removing a wheel may make it less attractive to steal, but the impression of abandonment and semi-dereliction it gives might encourage vandalism and theft of components in certain areas.
