Sorry to hear about the theft. Matlock is not too far from me and I always considered it a nice area.
The only real way of stopping the b*st*rds is to take the tools indoors every night and leaving the van doors open which just isnt practical.
I've never looked at opening a Hykee lock but I can open some slamlocks without a key, so if I can do it it's not all that hard. But if all your son in law had was the standard Ford locks it was always going to happen at some point.
Im still a big fan of the idea of securing the side door from the inside (possibly with a chain or padlock) and backing the rear doors up to a wall.
