Thanks for the replies.  I wasn't so much worried about theft as my young daughter (who's 3years) wandering off! She had a tendency when she was younger to sleep walk!  Thanks for the post aobut moving the zips to the top that a great idea! 

So glad I posted, sorry if I was being a bit stupid!

Thanks again.

I would like to think there is an unspoken code between campers,you never touch anyones tent end of story.

well, when we go to bed, I shut the curtains and put the deadlock on the door....

nah only kidding, we do shut the curtains though, some valuables get locked in the boot of the car and some go in the bedroom pods with us. Good point about taking the mallet to bed with you though, we usually leave ours by the tent door incase any pegs come loose (although that doesnt happen now with the deltas!) will take it to bed in future!

there is just me and him (although i am hoping to have the grandchildren with us soon) and we go to sleep with all the 'curtains' open so i can wake up, take in the view,  and be on holiday :)

the zip thing is so obvious...  once you know it!  

generally my wallet etc are in my jeans that is usually beside me, car master key goes in the pocket in my sleeping bag. Plus I think I would hear anyone coming into the tent

have the mallet handy though, that is the joys of UKCS meets we all know each other and look out for each other

We use the car roof box. This is stored in the spare bedroom (along with the usual camping clutter). Its lockable and secure. Handbag, wallet carkeys are kept with us at all times.

I'm sure  we would hear anyone trying to get into the tent, although we did have a scare last September in a field in Dorset.. We found a hedgehog found its way into the main living area, made an awful racket and gave us a hell of fright (no sewn in ground sheet!)

Happy camping

x thread .. i wish i had a spare bedroom at home to store my camping clutter

I remember the first time we went camping, we used to padlock our tent only to realise a few months later, if someone wanted to get in they would just cut the tent open

Like everyone else says just keep any valuables locked away and you should be fine
