To sticker or not is the question?

[swemmy666]

If you add security: disklok, tracker, immobiliser, etc etc, do you put a sticker on the van advising any potential scroat of the hurdles they will have to jump in the hope they fukoff to someone elses van, but take the risk that they will just come back forewarned with the appropriate equipment?

I doubt a sticker would make any difference to their decision either way. If they want it they will try whatever you do. What you do only reduces their chances of success.

And the more damage they will cause if/when they fail!

VanBitz supply stickers when they do an instal so I used all the stickers on my van adjacent to doors and windows

That it’s another deterrent!

I use the stickers advertising the deterrents I have fitted in the vain hope that one of the scroats can read. I do blag it a bit with the lightening arrow that says danger 440 volts though

If stickers work, we could save a fortune on trackers, immobilisers and security locks..
The thing is, when I'm parked up at home, or on a site the blinds are usually closed, so they won't see the steering wheel lock, or drivers seat locked in reverse. I might also have my screen cover on, which negates the dash cam set on monitor and would also block any stickers. The wheel clamp is the only really visible thing.
I suppose the more stickers for more security devices may, as you say send them on to some other poor sods van

Actually very easy to get to 440 volts using very simple electrical components, no not outlandish at all! A 'box of tricks' built by a now late friend was specifically designed to fry anything plugged into an OBD2 port using a much higher voltage burst unless turned off. Unfortunately, he passed before his invention moved beyond the first couple of prototypes. He fitted one to our first van to check arm/disarm functions and whether garage diagnostics or updates were affected in any way. It passed all tests and we were looking forward to either refit to our next van or an updated version to our next van when he fell ill and it never happened. I thought it was both a really clever idea and very sneaky but would be worth warning about!

Just put Jims new avatar on your van and they'll leave it well alone

I use the Vanbitz stickers on the doors and lockers. I also have the tracker stickers on the rear and cab windows in addition to the cctv monitoring on the hab windows.
If they want my van, they will have it, but it may well deter the chancer scrotes.

was that to save getting a re spray

Vanbitz do supply stickers, but the blue led lights 'potentially' suggest that the vehicle has additional security and I'm sure that the 'professional' motorhome thief would recognise, or dare I say even understand, that it won't be the easiest of motorhomes to steal.
My thoughts are that most motorhomes stolen are not taken on a whim, they are taken after a fair bit of planning and I'm damn sure they know when they see a Vanbitz alarmed motorhome (with the flashing led's) and recognise that it is going to be difficult to steal! So why would they bother when there are potentially easier targets?
