Tool theft from vans is a huge growing issue in the UK, with over 24,500 incidents reported in 2023—a 14% rise from the previous year and 44.000 in 2024.
The financial impact is severe, with stolen tools valued at £98 million and lost business costs reaching £82 million. Despite most tradespeople investing in extra security, thefts continue to increase, particularly at night, with London being the worst-hit area.
