TVAR — Trade & Vehicle Asset Register
Van opened overnight, racking empty, and the insurer wants serial numbers, receipts and photos by Friday. TVAR keeps all of it recorded in advance — for tradespeople and couriers — so the worst morning of your year doesn't start from a blank page.
Protect it. Record it. Prove it's yours.
Serials. Receipts. Photos. One secure record — built before it gets nicked.
Record your tools and van in one secure place.
Keep serial numbers, photos and receipts together.
Store evidence safely before anything happens.
Build a stronger record of ownership.
If something gets stolen, your evidence is already organised.
Why TVAR matters
If your tools disappeared tomorrow, could you prove exactly what you owned? TVAR keeps the make, model, serial numbers, photographs, receipts and incident details in one record, so the answer is already written down.
£39.95m
Estimated value of tools stolen in 2024
Direct Line Business calculated this from the reported cases using an average stolen-tool value of £1,565.02.
25,525
Tool-theft cases reported to UK police in 2024
From Freedom of Information responses; 29 of 45 forces supplied usable data, so the true total is likely higher.
Every 21 min
Average interval between reported tool thefts in 2024
Roughly 70 reported thefts a day across the forces that responded.
12,414 (49%)
2024 cases that were thefts from vehicles
Just under half of all reported tool thefts involved a vehicle.
Figures relate to the 2024 calendar year and come from Direct Line Business' annual tool-theft report, based on Freedom of Information responses from 29 of 45 UK police forces. Because not every force responded, and many thefts go unreported, these are a partial picture rather than a national total. TVAR is not affiliated with, endorsed by or approved by Direct Line, any police force, insurer or trade body.
