Brits who worry about the security of their caravans may be interested in a new product from AL-KO.
The firm has created a portable wheel lock for mobile homes to help make them more difficult to steal.
The AL-KO Secure lock is aimed at stopping criminals from making off with caravan enthusiasts' pride and joy.
According to the company, its extensive research and development work has resulted in a product so good it is backed by the National Caravan Council.
It was introduced to the market in 2005 and came as either standard or an optional extra on a number of 2006 models from Swift Caravans, Bailey Caravans, Coachman Caravans, Avondale, Lunar Caravans, Fleetwood, Vanmaster and Adria.
"The vast majority of caravan thefts occur during storage, either at home or at specialised storage locations," AL-KO said.
It added that its new system is designed to ensure that mobile homes cannot be towed away by isolating them mechanically.
Buyers are also able to register their wheel locks online, allowing them to order replacement keys if they lose them.
