dodgy van warning

something to possibly keep an eye out for.
my son text me a week ago that there was a transit van on his estate that looked like it was casing the area.
today he asked me the reg no, I sent it back and he replied its the same number but on a different van, they pulled up outside a builders house, slid side door open then floored it away. possibly with tools.
the guy he thinks they stopped outside didn't seem too worried. its his loss.
so word of warning look out for an older van Y922 EBA could be a tattyish transit , not sure what the plates are on now.

Red Ford Transit, taxed and MOTd, first registered 24 Sept 2012.

??? Y reg would be 2000 and it was a white transit the other week. make sure doors are locked
