are the new ones the same as the old ones in terms of lack of security?

Shock. Horror. Is that yet another Ford gone?
Hope it's found but the chances are slim.
I know but this time the thief took the wrong persons van.
I am going out on all forms of social media to make it #toohottohandle
I am going to challenge Ford on the locking system.
This van is less that 10 months old and it has already been broken into once, broken down twice, had to have a new engine and now stolen!

Is that a "Stealth Van" camper or just a van? Don't think I will be buying a Ford any time soon. Is it we don't hear about Fiat thefts as we are getting obsessed about Fords and their lack of security.
Always fit an alarm and tracker. You know it makes sense.

Its a working van. National charity that secures the homes of victims of domestic violence.
I won't ever buy Ford again, despite the massive discount (45%) they give us on new purchases.
Its got both (y)

I don't want it back (unlike my car which I did want back) - I said after the last incident that the van was jinxed. But I do want the scum caught. Things are moving quite quickly hopefully I will have an update soon.

My car was, in fact they had even polished the rear view mirror, and the steering wheel. They also left me a brand new crow bar.

And we have possession again just waiting for forensics.

Could be a long wait, broken shop window lastweek after an altercation outside the shop, still waiting for forensics. Probably turn up after new glass has been fitted.

no damage to the external then either? if so very lucky...... but good result.

I cant believe that the new vans have the same security flaws as the old ones.

Wait until I start my campaign on Ford and their security.

I am sorry that you have had all this trouble. But You are right Fords know the problems . And still will not change the locks. It is not only you that is taking them to court. There is a company in London who has several vans stolen. They are also taking them to court.
