Why The Ghost Immobiliser is Essential Van Security
Van theft statistics paint a worrying picture for owners. Recent reports suggest that van theft incidents have risen by 81% since 2020, with more than 30,000 cases recorded within just two years. But why are vans so appealing to thieves?
Tradespeople Losing Tools, Jobs, and Income
For electricians, plumbers, builders, decorators, and other tradespeople, the van is more than just a mode of transport; it’s their mobile workshop. A van break-in doesn’t just mean the theft of expensive tools but can also lead to cancelled jobs, reputational damage, and lost income. One report revealed tradespeople could face costs of up to £5,000 to replace stolen tools and repair damages.
Campervan Break-ins
Campervan owners face equally distressing challenges. A campervan represents freedom, adventure, and a significant monetary investment, often exceeding £50,000. Whether parked on a driveway or off-grid during a road trip, the risk of theft means taking measures to protect your investment is vital.
With the stakes so high, standard security measures like alarms and central locking are simply no longer enough.
What Is the Ghost Immobiliser?
The Ghost Immobiliser is an aftermarket high-tech defense system that has revolutionised vehicle security. Unlike traditional alarms or steering locks, the Ghost Immobiliser offers an invisible and unbreachable solution to modern theft methods, including key cloning, relay attacks, and signal boosting.
Here’s what makes the Ghost Immobiliser unique:
• Invisible Protection: No visible wires, devices, or signals for thieves to detect or tamper with.
• Keyless Entry Defence: It’s entirely pin-code protected, so even if thieves have a cloned key, the van won’t start.
• CAN-Bus Technology: The Ghost communicates directly with your van’s CAN-Bus system, preventing engine ignition without inputting the unique PIN code.
• Undetectable by Scanners: Thieves’ diagnostic tools cannot detect the Ghost Immobiliser, completely safeguarding your van.
This uniquely discreet and tamper-proof setup makes vans armed with the Ghost virtually theft-proof.
Why It’s the Ideal Solution for Tradespeople
For tradespeople, your van isn’t just your vehicle; it’s your business on wheels. The Ghost Immobiliser provides unmatched security, ensuring that you can focus on your work without constant worry.
Prevent Loss of Tools, Jobs, and Income
Beyond the financial cost of replacing tools, van theft can severely disrupt your work schedule, resulting in missed opportunities and dissatisfied clients. The Ghost Immobiliser prevents your van from being stolen, keeping your tools safe and your business running smoothly.
No Visible Deterrent = No Tampering
Most thieves look for a visual indication of security measures, such as locks or alarms they can bypass. The Ghost Immobiliser has no physical presence for criminals to identify and target, ensuring your security is protected at all times.
Lower Insurance Premiums
Many insurance companies recognise the Ghost Immobiliser as a TASSA-approved security measure, which may reduce your premiums and provide further peace of mind.
The Ghost Immobiliser for Campervans
Campervans represent freedom, adventure, and memories—but they’re also prime targets for thieves. With their high value and desirable features, campervans are a trade they can easily profit from.
The Ghost Immobiliser brings unparalleled protection to campervans through:
• Investment Protection: Safeguard the money poured into your camper.
• Security Off-Grid: Whether you’re off in the wild or parked at home, the Ghost provides a silent, invisible shield that works wherever your vehicle is.
• Peace of Mind: Rest easy knowing your campervan is protected, wherever your travels take you.
