This section is great but I think its importance should be increased.
This forum and its members could become an incredibly powerful tool in combating van theft - and be a great deterrent!
Instead of YOU having to go to this section - have the info come to you. Simple really. It can come to you in the form of a red alert in a PM - a text - an email etc.
This would mean news of a stolen van would spread all over the country incredibly quickly - there are members everywhere now and the amount of miles and roads we all cover on a daily/weekly basis i'm sure is staggering and would mean there are eyes everywhere.
Who better to spot a Transporter than us lot?
I'm not naive enough to think its as easy as just spotting a reg :* but we do mostly have a keen eye for the subtle details.
The information required for the post should be fairly extensive - as much help as poss really, subtle changes you have made etc. certainly would help when buying parts.
I personally wouldn't mind if I got an email or a text message or that the first thing I had to do when opened the forum was to read an RED ALERT about a stolen van. This information needs to be out there ASAP.
Another thing that would be great would be any success story was followed up in the same way with a big fat Green Alert A:
What do you guys think ? (please see post 191)
There a huge amount of work for Admin to create this system so they need to be made aware of your support and your thoughts.
