Property Marking Although you can permanently engrave such details as your postcode onto such items as tools, thieves will often scratch over these to remove themor make them unidentifiable. You could photograph them to make identification easier, and also use SmartWater. This is a traceable liquid which contains a unique chemical code which a forensic scientist can trace back to the rightful owner. Criminals are all too aware of how effective this is so ensure you display the relevant signage on your vehicle.
Trackers If your vehicle is stolen then it will be much easier for the police to find and retrieve it if it is fitted with a tracking system. They are relatively inexpensive and although the contents may have been stolen, you definitely have an increased chance of retrieving the vehicle as soon as possible. Finally, never underestimate the importance of a robust insurance policy – don’t just insure the vehicle, but any professional tools and equipment that are likely to be in it at any given time.
