Another Transit MH - Stolen (1 Viewer)

IMV. The "hidden" Cut-out switch is still a viable option. Takes TIME to find. And TIME is what these scrotes do not have?.

Certainly a viable option, but if they have been able to disarm the alarm by picking a Tibbe lock, they may not feel under the same time pressure as if a Growler (which is not linked to central locking) is making their lives a misery.

I agree, That sort of Internal siren is a deterrent. Mine (not the "Growler") came with the M-H and when it goes off it make your ears bleed!. I dont think I would start looking for any sort of "hidden" device with that going off. Would you?. Because once triggered without the correct (Non Fiat) Key or the code. It cannot be stopped, even IF you find the Alarm, it has to be physically removed and crushed!.

Would just like to say. We have a Transit based motorhome and it hasn't been stolen in 6 1/2 years!

Mine hadn't been stolen in 22 months... and then all of a sudden it wasn't there any more. They can be taken in less than 5 minutes without any damage or noise unless the alarm is independent of the central locking.
I can only hope that you've taken appropriate precautions to address the vulnerabilities: change the cab door lock cylinder to something more secure than Tibbe, prevent/seriously hinder unauthorised access to the OBD port.

Yeh, yeh, I know.

OBD protected.

You can buy dummy OBD ports online. The idea is to hide the original and put the dummy in the position of the original.

It is connected to the original port so that it powers up the thief's equipment but won't work.

Sod that, I would connect my dummy OBD port to the inverter and fry their kit!
