Remind yourself what your postcode is when looking out of your bedroom window?

Hmmm. I live in a bungalow.

Sorry to hear that, hope it's found ok.

Just goes to show though that if someone really wants a caravan, no anti-theft device is going to stop them. They only really deter casual theft. I often wonder if expensive wheel-locks, clamps etc are any better really than cheaper ones for that reason. Nothing much will resist an angle grinder if a determined thief wants something.

My Mazda Bongo was stolen one evening in 2009 from right outside my house, and nobody heard or saw a thing, including me! I am convinced it was stolen to order, as no trace was ever found of it or several others stolen from the same area within a few months.

unfortunately a lot aren't ever found due to the way they are shipped out in containers and sent off to the likes of new Zealand or austrailia, the price of uk caravans is astronomical out there and they are very popular for some reason, however checking things such as the vin number never occurs to them and the odd occasion it is found to be stolen its deemed not eccomonically worth returning to the uk
