 reading this post made me chuckle a bit

 when we bought our van,we thought it only had an alarm and sensor fitted,not bothered so much but we took it out of the storage as it was costing us a fair bit,so we used to store it at the back of our church,no problem.

 all usual security devices fitted,wheel lock,steady locks,wheel clamp,hitch lock etc.when we had our drive relaid more room now so brought van home,great,could get it on easy with motor mover and park it neater,plug it in to charge battery and cool fridge befor goin away.

 laughed tho.when we picked her up and left the church after taking off all security devices etc.hitched up and away we went,now we live bout 2miles from church,pulled up outside home and getting ready to put her in the drive on the mover,police car pulled up and 2 officers approached us,""is this your caravan sir "" yes i answered,well we have just been informed that it has been stolen !!! aghgast at this,how do you know?well the tracker co. have informed us by auto response !!!

 what i did not know that we should have changed our names onto the details with the co.showed them our cris cert.and bill of sale,etc.just then the phone went inside the house and it was the previuos owner who we had already spoken to when we bought the van,they had forgot to mention that it had a tracker system on it incorporated it the van,the co. ahd called them thtell them that the van was being moved.ooops!!!

 alls well that ended well tho.2 mugs of tea and 1 phone call to the co.and van was re-registered in our names.that how good these trackers are,well worth the money,but crikey how embarassing !!!!

Mmm...insurance probably costs more if one isnt fitted...its a deterrent...

Just do it, our new van came with one already fitted and first years subs free. £99 a year after that, or there is a reduced rate if renewing for 5 years.
