S :censored: t Sorry mate I didn't realise.

From home or a secure(?) storage site.

That is a real pain. I thought all the new vans were fitted with trackers or are they still optional extra's?

When did that happen then?

Are the insurance replacing with a 2010 model?

- Just coming up to 3 years old - Trakker wasn't an option then.

- You won't beleive it but it happened the Monday after we both had loaded the 'van with our stuff for our first outing this year

Well thats a positive at least, you lucky B.

Mine's over 10 now so insurance won't do new for old :cry:

But its still a reasonable old bus so will hold on to it for a while and it's becoming less attractive to the Pikey fraternity.

:thumbright: yes, it has a tracker and the latest "unbeatable" chassis/wheel clamp system (so I'm told) ...

IF your talking about the Alko chassis wheel clamp, they stick a oxy torch between the alloy wheel spokes and burn the bolt off :(

Nothing is full proof, but it's making it harder which counts. The tracker is probably the best thing anybody can have fitted, I cannot understand why they are not standard in all cars and caravans etc. It would reduce car crime overnight
