The attitude they have is that the Custom is on a par with all other vans out there in terms of security and all the tricks used by thieves have been thought up since they designed the van. Long story short.... they will do nothing.

Simple answer. Van is designed to transport stuff, not store it.
You want to keep stuff in it, fit extra security.
Everybody greets about there stuff getting chored, but won't spend the price of a night out preventing it. Then they want to blame ford.
People go to the main dealer and ask for a new key, they don't like the price, competition rules etc mean ford have to give independents
Access to tools and info, the independents give it to the thieves,
But again it's fords fault.

The thieves will figure out how to break the new one, and the new one and the new one......repeat to fade.
FFS, if you're spending "£27k" on a van, spend an extra few quid on making it more secure, relying on the manufacturer is daft, do something different and make the thieves work harder, as they're inherently lazy they'll steal your neighbours van instead.
As Punto says, these threads about theft are getting fvcking boring now, take some responsibility and secure your own stuff.

I did read it, we have a new thread about the same old sh*t almost every week. There is no such thing as an impenetrable lock.

Just out of curiosity, why undermine this?
