My ex-MOD 90 with lift-handle door locks was rifled through last night, which is rather vexing.
I don't know if the scrotes were after the vehicle but if they were, the disc lock and pedal cover put them off. Nothing of any value left in there overnight in any case.
I was wondering about improved door locks for the three doors, but on searching the forums the general consensus seems to be that there isn't anything worthwhile available for that type of door and lock. Is there anything I've missed that might help?
 
This is correct, the door locks are all quite std but the newer anti-burst units offer an improvement over the originals https://www.paintmanpanels.co.uk/product-category/door-lock-sets/

I think the primary area of weakness is the ease in which the sliding windows can be opened. I've modified mine making it very difficult to open from the outside. But this won't stop a hammer through the glass.
Thanks for that, useful food for thought. If I could be sure what sort I have now, it would be easier to decide if a set of locks would be worth trying.
Re. the windows, I suppose there are limits. If I can stop them opening the doors with a teaspoon, they might just walk away rather than stoving the windows in with a brick.
 
A starving Pitbull in the back with it knackers tied could deter would be burglar.
Or set up a few stick bombs around the vehicle where a thief has to stand.
