There was a story in our local paper about a caravan getting stolen with the owner sleeping in it.  It was bought 2 years ago for £17,500 and was uninsured.  It had 2 blue stripes down the side in the picture in the paper ( ? hobby ).  It had been there less than 24 hours.

How scary!!  The poor man must have been terrified when he woke up!

It was a Hobby according to that piece.  But to own a caravan of that value & not insure it.........  The mind boggles.

Glad it seems to have turned out OK for him altho it doesn't say if there's any damage to the van.  At least they caught the scumbags who stole it.

BEWARE YOU THEIVING SCUMBAGS !!!!!!!
I have a good friend who works for Durham Constabulary and he has informed me not long ago the force purchased a caravan to plant around the county to try and catch the local scumbags.
He also tells me that it has been fitted with some supa- dupa tracker and has been stolen once already !!
At least some forces are taking this seriously !!

Hi, "How scary!!  The poor man must have been terrified when he woke up!

It was a Hobby according to that piece.  But to own a caravan of that value & not insure it.........  The mind boggles.

Glad it seems to have turned out OK for him altho it doesn't say if there's any damage  to the van apart from a few plates.  At least they caught the scumbags who stole it.."

  Glad to see the thieves were remanded in custody & not given bail.
Maybe he will insure it now,after that very lucky escape.

If everything runs smoothly then I must have done something wrong
If in Doubt Check it Out.
