there was one locally to me broke into using a screwdriver and adjustable wrench!! whacked the screwdriver driver in to make a hole and used the wrench like cutters, back door had slam locks but made no difference, they just cut the panel and bent it down, although was a peugeot boxer, as said if they want to get in they will. A builders yard not far from me had 4 vans done in one night, angle grinded big enough hole under the van to climb in, obviously these two cases would have made noise so I would say the location of where you park your van is upmost important.
Mine has additional locks etc and has a few cameras pointing at it, well lit, plenty of twitching curtains but they still tried over xmas.
I have owned a Transit since time began....

I reckon one of the best security things you could do is sign writing, something like Jane's flowers on the side will make em look elsewhere, unless its near february 14th :lol:
