Car Crime Census 2013: Top 10 most stolen vans
We've all seen the 'no tools left in this overnight' stickers that builders and tradesman put on the back of their vans in the hope that it might dissuade an opportunist thief that it's worth breaking into. But worse than having your van broken into is having your van stolen lock stock and barrel. So is your van at risk? We list the top 10 vans that are most stolen in the UK.
For the purposes of this list, we've set a limit of 5000 vehicles on the road for each model to make it representative of the whole van market. This means vans like the Citroen C15 and DAF Sherpa aren't in this list as only a few thousand are on the road but you can of course read the whole list here.

Volkswagen Transporter - 0.28% theft rate
The Transporter name actually encompasses a wide series of vans going back to 1950 with the now much sought after T1. Pretty much all these early T1 and T2 vans are now in the hands of enthusiasts and due to their rarity and popularity command a high price. Although it's the more modern versions which thieves are likely to target.
