Dont know really, depends where the market is.

Just a pointer though, Only yesterday, I walked past a catalogue parcel delivery van.

The driver had got out with his parcel and disappeared down a driveway.

He had not locked his van as that would be too time consuming, but never thought to look if the keys were in the ignition.

but it's happened when they've left the keys in. You've got to be stupid to do that these days.

As a very busy Contracting Electrician, I am always in and out of my van, it is so easy to take the keys out of the ignition, get out walk away and press the keyfob which locks the the doors and immobilises it. The side door and the rear door both have slam locks on.
When I am finished for the day, my van goes through the above sequence but then I bring a "Toad Alarm" into play it is a Thatcham Catergory 1 alarm.
I sleep well at night, anybody who knows me has seen the message on the rear of the van :)

If they are silly enough to leave the van unsecured whilst not in it they deserve to be sacked!

Thats gross neglagence to leave the van unlocked but to leave the keys in is just asking for someone to steal it.

Insurance wont cover it either!
