We had one of our brand new Citroen Berlingo Vans (2015) stolen about 3 weeks ago...
What made me laugh is one of the reasons why I leased the Citroen Berlingo vans in the first place is that they come with AWARD wining GPS tracking and monitoring for 3 years security system, supposedly the best bloody immobilisers on the market????? (and they are really cheap lol)
I phoned up teletrac the people that track the van they said the last time the tracker came online was 1am that night... I have phoned them loads of times and nothing.
Whoever gave them this award winning security award (lol) needs to probably give out awards for something else!!!
So overnight someone managed to get into the van, disable the immobiliser, turn off the tracker, without a key.
I know there is allot of Tech Savvy people about, but really that easy. So don't buy or lease a New 2015 Citroen Berlingo Van!!!!
So I wanted to know as we hired 3 of these vans lol... (I know every morning I wake up asking the lads if the fecking vans are still there!!!!)
1) How did they do it???
2) Should we fit these DIY GPS trackers and get a £5 a month Sim... are they any good???
3) I bought 2 of those £99 DISKLOCS Thatchem 3 things (the ones that fit the whole steering wheel and spin when you turn so do not turn the wheel), are these any good - I heard a pro can get them off in 3 minutes but that is the best on the market???
4) Should we also fit an alarm? if yes which one would someone recommend?
Fecking thieving van stealing bastards, I do not think I could take another van getting stolen and my insurance premium certainly cannot!!!!
And I just got the fecking thing sign written!!!!
