I wish we had sound on here cos there would be a round of applause from every corner of the country for your husband Kath...Well done that man...

Must say stealing  on a campsite is a rare occurance in my experiance..and ususally done by off site ner-do-wells and not your neighbours...Happy the expeiance has not put you off camping or that site....

Jelboy.

I do applaud your efforts to regain your possessions,but with some detailed information you could of provided re the items stolen then get the law involved.

having a laugh is one thing,but these chav's need to feel the full weight that an arrest and charging for such behavior is more than the silly bravado that comes with this sort of trouble that they cause is not worth it.lets put them in a cell, disrupt there time away, and stop this smirk on face and disregard for others.

The lack also of site security is a real worry,not a good advert for those who wish to take there hard earned brake at that site.

Obviously these people are not true campers. Its like an unwritten law that campers do not steal from one another.

 We too have, by the sound of it been really lucky that nothing has been taken whilst we've been away. We do like most leave things outside and I'd like to think that all of our neighbours thought that we were trustworthy too.

I'm sorry some of you have had these bad experiences  -  and by the way just shown the other half this thread and he mentioned that maybe we were robbed this year as our wine definetly seemed to disappear most nights, he was pointing his finger at me though when he said it!

I can't believe the audacity of some people.  Camping should be a relaxing experience where you dont have to worry if your belongings are safe.  I have to say that when i first went camping i was sceptical about the safety of my belongings in my tent wondering whether i should padlock the front zips together.   I hope that your incident was a one off.  I think the worst behaviour i have experienced was at a camp in Filey.  A group of lads in their late teens decided that it was a good idea to play football in between our tent, my parents tent and their tent.  The plot of land was about 4 by 4 metres.  Well you can imagine where the ball get landing especially with the winds up there.  They broke my guy rope which actually ripped from the tent, they then kicked the ball and it landed on my parents kitchen which marginely missed knocking the boiling hot kettle over my kids.  They decided to stop after that.  I understand that kids need to play but there was a acre of grass they could have played on so why do it in between tents.
