It can be really upsetting when your vehicle is stolen. And most vehicles that are stolen are used in further criminal incidents. That’s why it’s so important that you have the right level of van insurance, so if your vehicle is stolen and not recovered or written off, the insurance company will either repair or replace the vehicle.
