JSB HUBLOCK LTD
TESTIMONIALS
Mr W. I. Wyke, West Yorkshire
Hi guys, we've just bought one of your wheel locks, a very impressive and substantial piece of kit. We went shopping after a couple of shifty looking chaps were seen looking round our caravan after midnight last night. We already have an SAS wheel clamp (Sold Secure Gold) and an ALKO hitch lock, both of which I think can be cut off with an oxyacetylene cutter, but they were the best available at the time. By the look of your clamp I would think its just about bomb proof. Its taken me 15 minutes to fit, that's from getting all the equipment out, to having it all put away again, easy peasey with the stainless steel guides. To anybody out there wanting peace of mind, I would think this is as good as it gets.
P.S. Don't suppose I shall ever know if it works or not, unless someone's stupid enough to have a go with a torch. I think anybody seeing the thing would just walk away, I'll let you know.

Caravan thieves are back in the area and they came to pay us another visit. They came tooled up for the job with 6 men and three vans. They got a good deal the last time they came, the father in-laws caravan was stolen at the same time as ours, the police think its the same team. This time they were disturbed by the father in-law next door, who was checking his caravan. After making up some excuse they went, however not before noticing the HUBLOCK that we now both have on our caravans. They haven't been back since but it's only been a week, and two caravans have been stolen this week not very far from us. I'm not going to stop in worried if they do though, they have seen the HUBLOCK and they did get a good look at it.

I looked at the JSB HUBLOCK website with interest, and being a mechanic by trade (currently running a HGV workshop) I really believed I would be able to remove this device. Every type of wheel clamp, without exception, can be cut off with an oxyacetylene cutting torch in less than a minute. Ground anchors have chains which can be cut in seconds, hardened or not. Hitch locks are overcome by towing your van away using a chain wrapped around the lock and 'A' frame. Tracking devices may get you your van back, but they won't stop it being stolen. Secure storage is expensive and is not always convenient or secure. All SOLD SECURE GOLD awarded devices will only resist an "opportunist attack" for five minutes. This doesn't include oxyacetylene cutting, as they wouldn't last for sixty seconds.
Today I went to see the JSB HUBLOCK in the flesh. THIS LOCK IS SUPERB ! I don't think a caravan with one of these fitted could be towed away inside 3-4 hours (6-8 hours for a twin axle with two fitted), they may not be removeable anyway. This is not an advertisement for this product, just my honest opinion having seen it for myself. This is the only product I have seen that I believe would stop my caravan being stolen. Nothing is impossible to overcome but this will take hours to remove, so the thieves will always pick an easier target.

I bought the JSB HUBLOCK in 2005 just after my Hymer caravan was stolen, in broad daylight from the side of my house. My neighbour's caravan had been similarly stolen 6 days earlier but no one had informed me. In both cases wheel clamps and hitchlocks had been cut off with oxyacetylene cutting equipment, which I was later told would have taken about 30 seconds.
I had quite a bit of correspondence with the Caravan Club about the fact that they did not seem to want to endorse your product.
More importantly my replacement caravan has not been stolen, so the JSB HUBLOCK does work. It is easy to fit, and if I were a caravan thief I wouldn't even attempt to remove this device. I would target caravans fitted with the usual (ineffective) wheel clamps and hitch locks instead.
The JSB HUBLOCK does look as if it means business.

An edited version of CCTV film of an actual caravan theft. This demonstrates how professional thieves remove wheel clamps, hitch locks, security posts, ground anchors and chains etc. using oxyacetylene cutting gear. Most thefts are completed well within ten minutes and alarms are disabled in no more than 5 seconds.
The JSB HUBLOCK was designed to resist oxyacetylene cutting gear.
