Hello all,

I just wanted to post here to ask you to keep your eyes peeled for my van please. It was stolen last night from my driveway in the Nottinghamshire area.

It's a Ford Transit 125 T350 2.2 Panel Van conversion to camper van.

It’s done about 148k
Reg: YJ13 YJK

VIN NO - WF0XXXTTFXCT12321

I think the van is likely to get cloned so it will be on a different Reg plate but the new plate and VIN No will obviously not match .
Thetford Oven and Grill
Thetford Cassette toilet
Whale shower and tap system .
vitrifrigo fridge
Dometic stainless steel double burner and sink
Fiamma roof vent over main cabin and over shower .
Front seats converted from bench seat 3 seater to 2 x single seats with armrests ( from Kia Sedona or similar).

I have informed the police but it never hurts to have as many people looking as possible. Please get in touch if you see it or hear about it.

Many Thanks

Fiona W

Police found it parked up in a communal car park less than 10 miles away

They've told us that thieves will often do this, to check if the van has a tracker. They'll park it up somewhere and if it's still there a few days later they know it's not being tracked and then they clone it or whatever theives do with vans these days. I'm super happy it's been found. Thanks for your help!

Did it have a tracker then? Or did the police luckily find it?
Good to hear you’ve got it back though.

It does not have a tracker. But I will be purchasing one now!!

Police got a tip off from someone on Facebook.

I hope they catch the fuc#$%s too, they took finger prints from the van, so hopefully they'll get a lead from that.

Maybe think about having a Phantom Tracker fitted. You are notified straight away if they interfere with the vehicle and of course the vehicle can be tracked.
In the old days we used a steering lock where it was a metal bar between the steering wheel and the foot pedal. Something like THIS. We found it to be every effective as it is a visible deterrent.
By the way do you know why the vehicle alarm did not sound when they entered the vehicle to drive it away?
