Hi there- just had my 'Just Kampers' cover (whih was fantasic- reccommended!) stolen from my westy in the middle of the night - any ideas of how to securely fix the 'new' cover to stop the thieves again? Only thing i can think of is spraying the cover with graffiti so that it's not re-saleable and riveting the base so that it can be padlocked to the jack supports of the van. Any other suggestions? Can't seem to find anything practical on the market ?

How about painting the registration number of the van onto it ....

I had thoughts like this when I had a cover stolen off my old MG.
One problem is that it may not have been taken to sell on or use as a cover, I found a tramp sleeping in mine a few days later. Customising it isnt gonna deter a tramp or drunk person taking it. Remember whoever took it may come back to see if you have bought a new one yet.
Sorry to sound so pessemistic. You've just reminded me of how angry i was when it got nicked.

the only thing you can do to stop it getting nicked is lock it to the van somehow, mercus will be along later this week, at the moment he's 2 vans up from me and still assleep!
