Protecting your BOV

I’ve just ordered locking wheel nuts and am thinking of getting a Disklok to replace the old steering wheel lock, then making the bonnet (hood in the US) more secure and a way to padlock the battery, when the van is needed we need to know it’s ready to go.

Can anyone think of any other precautions that would be useful?.

If non-electronic ignition old WW2 technique of removing distributor rotor.

On modern electronic ignition systems you have to be a bit more creative, but your mechanic can suggest options which work without damage. Caravan interior is subject to break-ins like a house. Good locks, heavy wire mesh inside windows, motion detector alarm.
