We have always left our stuff in the tent. However if you have any small games consoles I would put them in the car or even anything of any value!

Hi, welcome to UKCS, no it's not a daft question, not asking it would have been daft i think this must be up there with the top worries for new campers, most stuff is left in or around the tent and will be quite safe on a campsite, obviously there are things that you don't leave because there are no guarantees, cameras, wallets, purses, most small things of value can all go with you but in general tuck stuff in the tent, zip it up and it will remain untouched 99.9% of the time

anything of high value or things like games consoles, phones, cameras i leave in the car if we go out, everything else stays in the tent. I have never had any problems but have seen a couple of reports this year about thefts from tents.

Same as above.  Any valuables e.g. money, cameras, phones, laptop etc goes in the car, everything else stays in the tent.

Hi

I leave everything in the tent except valuables which get locked in the car out of sight. But I only have bog standard oldish equipment and chairs etc. The only exception is my daughter's pride and joy - storm kettle, which also gets hidden away just in case.  I have never had anything stolen and I think theft is very rare on a campsite.
