Aye – but few companies provide lifestyle vans
No need to do a DVLA check for them – spot it on the drive / street and good chance there is some expensive kit in the garage!
And I’m sure there’s quite a few people who have “lifestyle” vans as a company vehicle – when they control the company decisions!

I’m fairly sure if I were in the business of stealing high end bikes I would also be able to get hold of a few fake credit card numbers and addresses.
don’t think that will help you, AFAIK the process is a “paper” one only which requires you to send a cheque (or PO) and they post the response back to you. That’s quite an elaborate scam required to get lots of replies, answering all the “why do you want it” questions satisfactorily and without anyone at DVLA spotting a trend (I’d guess there are only 2 or 3 people who routinely deal with these).
If your priority is funding your next hit, then a process that takes over a week and costs £2.50 a time, + a stamp, and filling in a form is probably a bit slow!
nor are the police likely to cross reference DVLA searches with burglary victims either…
no but a victim could make a SAR to see who has been given responses, and if there was any sign of a link the victim could pass the details to the police for investigation.
