I always find it odd that people will quite happily leave stuff out unattended on a campsite,stuff that they probably wouldn't dream about leaving out on their own front lawn at home?!?... (..MHs out for the day,leaving ehu leads/steps/chairs etc  )

We've only ever had a large brolly and a 6mtr fibreglass flagpole & flag go missing but as I posted earlier,we always locked our "stuff" together...

With the amount of things just left out,it is quite surprising that more stuff doesn't go walkies really..

If a fellow camper is desperate enough to risk his self respect, his reputation or me thumping him then he is welcome to whatever he wants.

Yeah but don't forget...

A) They may not be a "fellow camper",they could be just walking through the site,having a nose..

B) If they are a thieving scumbag,then the won't give a jot about self respect or reputaion anyway(..in fact in the circles in which they probably move,nicking stuff would probably raise his/her reputation!),

C) They'll nick stuff when you're not about,so you'll be unable to give 'em a good thumpin'!

I understand the "..we've camped for years and never had a problem.." approach,(it's what I thought prior to us having a few items "walk")..but I've never had my car nicked or house broken into either but that doesn't stop me from still locking them...
