Well, I have the beast back after the MOT work and she is now a little bit heavier with all the welding needed. Set me back about £800 in total with £400 of that for the welding. Also sorted elecs and new tyre. Thanks for all the advice. I am now going to fit a tracker and I am buying a stoplock pro and DNA marking a lot of the parts.

I prefer to let the rozzers get to it and secure it before I turn up

What do you mean by etch kit? Literally writing your name in the glass?

Have you never heard of window etching as a security measure?

Many Police services have free etching services, as do some of the window replacement companies such as Autoglass ...

Glass etching is not really a deterrent if the vehicle is going to be broken to parts and shipped abroad and it is only on the glass. I have used https://www.selectadna.co.uk/dna-asset-marking/dnavehicle and slapped it on everything including wheels, likes. seats, lights.
