When your van gets broken into, it’s not just the tools that are taken—it’s your income, your time, and your peace of mind.
Every day in the UK, tradespeople wake up to smashed locks, empty vans, and cancelled jobs. And while many people assume the loss stops at the price of tools, the real cost of tool theft runs far deeper.
At VanToolTheft.com, we’ve spoken to countless victims. Here’s what we’ve learned—and how our alerting devices can help you avoid becoming the next target.
💸 The Hidden Costs of Tool Theft
- Lost Work & Cancelled Jobs
No tools = no work. Some tradespeople report losing £500 to £2,000 per day just from cancelled appointments.
“I had to cancel a full week of work and refund deposits. That hit harder than losing the tools.”
- Van Damage & Repairs
Most thefts don’t happen cleanly. Doors get peeled back. Locks are drilled out. Panels are bent.
Repair costs often range from £300 to over £2,000, depending on the damage. - Time Wasted
Between dealing with police reports, chasing insurance claims, and replacing tools, you’re looking at days—if not weeks—of downtime. - Insurance Excess & Premium Hikes
Even if your insurance covers the theft, your excess can be £250–£750, and your premium may skyrocket the following year. - Mental Stress
Sleep becomes restless. Anxiety sets in every time you park up. The feeling of being targeted lingers.
This is the hidden toll most people don’t talk about—but it’s real.
