the lake district is no better or worse than the rest of the country when it comes to crime, its easy for us to give advise after the event i no, but the only advise i can give is make sure you give them a good kicking before you ring the police if you catch anyone, because for stealing a 500£ bike they might get a 50£ pound fine no wonder they do it.

Sorry to hear about your theft - first time I have heard of anyone having anything stolen

Makes me glad we have two dogs who bark if anyone comes near

 Many campsites are open to anyone walking in. It's very rare anything goes 'walkies' but it does happen. I had my handbag stolen from the footwell of the car during the night. This was over 30 years ago,  so it's not a new thing. I always take it in the tent with me now. We lock everything of value in the boot at bedtime or when going out.
