Beat van tool theft — and get your kit back
Tool theft from vans wrecks working weeks and costs thousands. Localizit hides trackers in your tools, alerts you the second they move out of hours, and gives the police a live recovery link to follow your kit and get it back.
Instant theft alerts
When tools leave the van or site out of hours, Localizit pushes an alert to your phone and emails you — not the next morning, right now.
Live recovery link
Share a live tracking link straight with the police so they can follow your kit in real time and recover it fast.
Hidden, battery-light tags
Small BLE/GPS trackers tuck inside cases, drawers and power tools — thieves don't see them, and they last a long time.
Prove it's yours
A full record of each tool, its movements and your ownership helps with police reports and insurance claims.
Locks slow thieves down. Tracking gets your tools back.
Van break-ins take seconds, and most stolen tools are gone before you even know. Localizit adds the layer locks can't: live recovery. Hide a tracker in a tool case or power tool, set your working hours, and the moment kit leaves the van or site out of hours you get an instant alert — with a live map you can share straight with the police.
Beyond theft, you get a full tool-trackingrecord: what you own, where it is, who it's assigned to, and when it last moved — useful for insurance claims and for never losing kit between jobs. See the trackers or read how it works.
Tool theft — FAQs
How do I stop tool theft from my van?
Physical locks help, but determined thieves get through them in seconds. The reliable layer is tracking: hide a tracker in your tools so that if they're taken, you're alerted instantly and can hand police a live location to recover them.
Can the police recover stolen tools with a tracker?
Yes — that's the point of the live recovery link. Rather than a last-known position, Localizit gives a continuously updating location you can share with the police so they can act while the kit is still on the move.
Will I get an alert the moment tools move?
Yes. Set your working hours and Localizit alerts you the instant tools leave the van or site outside them — by push notification and email, with a cooldown so you're not spammed.
Do the trackers need a SIM or charging?
BLE tags are battery-light and last a long time on a coin cell, reporting via gateways; GPS/4G trackers give precise live location and are recharged periodically. You can mix both.
Does this help with tool insurance?
Many insurers look favourably on tracked tools, and a clear record of ownership and movement strengthens any claim. Check your policy — and use Localizit's records when you report a theft.
