Risking not having insurance should be avoided as well, you could be completely taken out. Gristwood had a truck and chipper taken in it's entirety a few weeks ago, keys were left in it! Both got the sack, even the guy in the tree! Just another opportunist waiting for 20 seconds. The poshest areas in London are some of the riskiest because there will be 30 white vans within 200 yards doing one job or another so they just blend in - it was a white van that did the job in Hampstead.

Thanks for that Magnus, quick question, is your chipper insured if you don't have a wheel clamp on it, and as to leaving a saw in the cab, not even my phones are insured for that, in fact nothing is!

 

We don't even have boxes on the truck just open storage areas so we can't leave anything.

We have ALKO hitch locks manufactured by the company that makes the tow hitch, we got a replacement chipper for the stolen one.

 

Haven't been in touch with the insurance company about the chainsaw, I am pretty sure it will be covered though, seem to remember something about "locked in the cab".

The secret I found, after getting a chipper nicked years ago, is just to prevent the event. I remember it cost me about £5000 in excess's, new security, inflated insurance premiums.

 

Perhaps don't mention the locked in cab bit.... maybe? ;-)
