I'm sure someone used one to get into my van at the back end of last year.

Had a mate whos van was done, hes a shop fitter and took all his tools. No sign of damage to his doors and the police told him they probably used a jiggler key off ebay

I knew some vans were easy to get into but i didn't know how they opened the doors until i heard radio 1 news who told you the name of the key and how easy it is to buy! 10 seconds on google i had found where to buy it and a video of how to use it! wtf!

[Dorset Treeman]

I heard about 'peel and steal' on the same BBC news so googled it. It's worrying how quickly and easily they can get into vans!

Drill a small hole just below the keyhole in a citreon and all the locks open. Renault master rear light (so only panel van) pop the 3rd light out and you've got access to the locks, same on a sprinter. It's not just fords they're all bad.

I've a transit drop side myself, but not to worried about someone, "getting in".. given the state its in, they'd more than likely spend half hr tidying it up as nick whats in it..

If your on Facebook look at builder's talk group and other similar ones and you will see the damage they do to tradesmen. I believe one member even got a load of evidence together and ford weren't interested [emoji35] he is the same guy who runs band of builders please search and like the page maybe even donate or buy some of the merchandise [emoji106]sorry for the plug but it's a worth while cause
