Commercial Vehicle Locking - Why?

It's suggested the UK is facing a statistical peak in the percentage of vehicle crimes committed, with vehicle offences having affected more then half of all UK motorists, a recent survey suggests. Commercial vehicle owners are the victims of a significant percentage of these numerous vehicle crimes.

Valuable tools of the trade and very expensive specialist items are often stored in commercial vehicles, often left unattended overnight, and commercial vehicles are targeted by thieves for this very reason. Thieves are also attracted to hard to trace stock goods and merchandise that can be sold on the sly, and many commercial vehicles are used to transport these kinds of goods. The theft of domestic items, such as electronic items and home furnishings, can be very distressing for the victim, yet the goods are nearly impossible to trace and very easy to sell on the sly, meaning that thieves find the commercial vehicles that transport them partially appealing targets.

The actual commercial vehicle itself can also be at risk when broken into by a thief. Criminals can make a lot of money when sealing a commercial vehicle by selling it on or having it dismantled for parts. Many of the commercial vehicles used in the commercial market are worth tens of thousands of pounds.

Infamously poor security plagues many commercial vehicles due to the notoriously ineffective, and very weak five pin lock system that the market was dominated by for many years, leading to many commercial vehicles having a reputation of poor security. The criminals speed and stealth in committing these crimes makes commercial vehicle crime across Britain a rife affair.

Many commercial vehicle owners, especially light commercial vehicle owners, find these security factors makes insuring the content of their vehicles nearly impossible. Owners who invest in specialist security locks and deterrents in order to deter and stop crime against their vehicles are far more practical and cost effective in protecting and strengthening their commercial vehicles.
