Ya I was legit thinking the same thing. Even as a theft deterrent, I don’t think they’d care especially if they want it for a joy ride or something?
Van life folks are at serious risk of break-ins since often they’ve got half of their lives in their vehicles. If this discourages even a single prowler from assessing their vehicle, I’d argue it’s well worth it.
That being said this isn’t a typical van size for such a purpose but I could see a solo van lifer in there.
