Some good advice already given.If your truck has got NAS 2.Then they will need your ignition key to drive it away.So be sure to keep the key safe.(Mine goes in the bedside draw,guarded with a world war two bayonet,hammer/baseball bat.)So dont forget your home security.Try leaving a couple of house lights on,tv/ radio.Plus any external lights.
As a last resort,is it possible to leave your truck parked at at a member of the family or friends over night.Also if you have the means to store fuel,as a last resort you could drain the tank.(Drain plug underneath)Then fiil up and prime it.Ball acher i know.None of this will stop them towing of course.

I look at it this way, if I was a Gypo and wanted to nick a T2 knowing what I do about them, I will be using a car recovery motor with ramps so winching onto the flat bed is no problem, or a tow truck with a "dolly" that is slid under the front wheels, in the case of the dolly cutting the HB cables is seconds and I would not be too bothered about it being in gear, Rick

Yes it's because mini babybels look like the baby cheeses.

Couldn't be towed in 4wd though as everything turns as one. So putting it on a dolly wouldn't work

Unhappy

Whilst I’m sure we all have our views and opinions on where we stand regarding other cultures and UK immigration laws, this site is not the place for those views to be aired.

British law makes it an offence to insight racial hatred and, to be quite frank, some of the recent posts here have been very a very close call…. there is a very thin line between a joke and an offence being committed.

Secondly, personal insults aimed at other members are not welcome here.

So here’s the deal, from now on any posts that remotely fall into the above will be deleted and a PM sent to the poster referring them to this post. Continuation to do so will result in account deletion.

This isn’t open to debate and is the FINAL word






Locking this with view to removal, discussing securing your vehicle is one thing, accusing folks of being thieves based on living in trailers is something else.

This is not acceptable, for newbees take this as warning, for senior members well lets not
go here again.
