I agreeVery sad and from what I've heard it is unlikely to be seen again. Although mine isn't Transit based it was stories like this which persuaded me to get an alarm fitted recently. You can get good alarms for about £500 upwards though I spent a bit more on mine. Of course theft of the vehicle is still rare but theft from MHs is a real threat and a good alarm will give some peace of mind when you leave the vehicle unattended.
A 'Growler' alarm with its flashing LED's acts as a good deterrent against attempted theft.
A loud internal and external siren helps too if a thief enters your van
Finally a 'non' starter should help prevent them starting it
Add to this the fact that a Growler also calls and texts you if it is activated and you're about as secure as you can be.
I'm sorry for the OP's loss, but sensible precautions are available which are effective in preventing loss.
