it is not  better to label the item with an permanent marker. as well as a magic marker, that may help prevent the items going

did this on ALL cushions.

Looks like a number of 'travellers' and their families will be on the look out for another caravan soon. Lock up your van.

I do hope that that they punish the offenders, and not them loose with a couple of hundred pounds fine.

Well done the Police, who have come in for a level of criticism for not treating caravan theft with any priority, in the past.

Regards

I mark all my stuff at home and when I got the caravan I marked all my stuff and the van with a security marker and recorded where the mark was and what it was with the insurance company, including water hog, waste, pump and each window cos although they have the cris number on I suspect that is the first thing to go...

All items in the van ect ect....

But It would be fun watching them try to steel mine from the locking devices and alrams i have on it...lol

Usual thieves take stuff down the canal tow path but I wonder if they would float Mavis...

Are these markers the ones that can be read under ultra violet lamps?  Where do you get them from Daisy?

Am I going mad? last night I read the BBC link and I'm sure it read 'South' Nottinghamshire farm, now it just says Nottinghamshire farm??.

Living in South Notts it makes a bit of a difference!!

Maybe there's some confusion between the 'actual' value and the 'value' claimed off the insurance...

Its disappointing that if it was you or I bail would probably be denied due to the seriousness of the crime and the genuine risk of absconding.  Because we are talking about a minority group special consideration was probably given.

I have marked everything visually too that way it will be seen rubbed off and no thought given to it being marked with one of these pens.

Well done to the Police, now what we want is the support of the courts and judicial system to ensure these Bas...... do the time for the crime, and no bail or they will surely disappear and pick up again where they left off. Make sure the Police operation wasn;t a waste of time and resources.

I think most knew this was going to happen even the Police,
I now will keep an eye on this story and see if any sentence is handed out.
chances are they have already disappeared and on the lookout for new vans.

It's a bad plan that cannot be altered
