I am not sure if anyone would want to get into a FC when parked.  In order to steal anything they would need to put it up at least in part and I am not sure that the average oportunist would be able to do that.   Of course take any thing that you can in with you and if you have things like a tv in there make sure it is pack away under lots of stuff, eg in the boxes under the sofas, which will also be under the beds in the folded down FC. 

I suppose you could try some sort of lock for keeping the beds folded down, making entry quite hard.  I don't think it would be hard to attach a couple of brackets to the underside of a bed and the side walls so that you could use some lock, but I really don't think that anyone looking for a quick theft ould bother with a FC once they have looked under the transit cover and seen how it is packed down. 

As for taking away then you do need the same sort of security as a caravan eg hitch lock etc  though FCs are a little less popular than caravans of course.   I think they tend more to go from homes or storage places where theives are stealing to order.

Good quality wheelclamp and hitchlock and park in a well lit area as near to reception as possible? 

I believe you can get a shed alarm which you could put inside - never tried one as mine is a hardtop so has padlocks on either side of the trailer top.

There wasn't CCTV but we used this particular place and it was very safe indeed.  Nice people to deal with as well.  I'd book it though as these places fill up at peak times especially with people who park there for the Eurostar terminal.
