Do you mean theft of or from the van?

The obvious answer is a good security alarm.
In the past I've fitted an isolator switch to vehicles & hidden it.In one car I hid it in the ashtray!
Another option would be to buy a wheelclamp & use that.That's what I used to do with my van when it was parked outside the house.
It wasn't that expensive & would probably only take a minute or two to break it but it's a visual deterrent more than anything else.

Alarming stuff.

Hi to all,

For myself being a cheap and cheerful type of guy I just ran a cut-off wire from the plus side of the coil to a switch under the drivers seat so that the coil could isolated.
But an isolation switch shutting off the battery power going to the starter leaves everything dead, the truth about car alarms is that we are so used to hearing them go off on one shows the least bit of interest.
