 wasn't quite getting it so I tie my Rotweiler to the passenger door
 handle, leave the van wide open so he can get in front of his fan and get
 to his water bowl. I leave my favorite pump action 12 gauge on the dash
 and just leave my Colt 44 Magnum in it holster mounted to the shift
 lever. That has proven to be the best security so far. >>

Tie a bunch of flares with colored electrical wire and display in various
places in the van. Leave some conspicuous notes written in foreign looking
squiggles on the dash. Don't forget with to punctuate the notes with "America
is Satan's mistress" in readable English.

I'm quite certain you will then keep the thieves away and get free security
services from the FBI. Faster service can be obtained if you park near
Federal Buildings.
