I hope this is allowed - it came from Rural Neighbourhood Watch in Scotland.

Between 17.00 on 13/12/2020 and 09.00 on 14/12/2020 a Coachman Lazer 624 double axel, 4 berth caravan (pictured) was been stolen from a caravan store on North Road, Inverkeithing, Scotland. The caravan had vehicle plate N3STV on it and is valued at £18,000.




At the same time and dates a Swift Challenger 530E VRM P40UTC was also stolen (further details still to be obtained but similar to model shown below)



Last week a Swift Caravan was stolen from Thurston Manor Caravan Park, Innerwick, Dunbar, East Lothian, and was later recovered in the Cumbria area where it was hidden behind two diggers in a caravan park.

Anyone with any information relating to these thefts should contact Police Scotland on 101 quoting incident number 0797 15/12/20 or alternatively you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.

If you open the Website News forum, near the top in the pink section, you’ll see a thread called “stolen unit database” that Ratty adds to regularly. It’s got several hundred entries.

Thanks, Fiona, not aware of that.

By coincidence, just after getting the alert, friends in Borders had an attempt to steal their new 'van foiled, thanks to an alert farmer.

Hi ficklejade.
Could you please tell me where in the borders it was as that is where we live. Better go and check the caravan.
Kind regards
David

Rigg outside Gretna, David. They're in a converted farm cottage and barn so quite isolated but the lane they're on is a bit of a rat run. They were away at the hospital that night so polis think local knowledge. Only five minutes from A75/M74/M6 junction so had the thieves got it, the van would be well away. Hope yours okay.

Absolutely shocking. Wont take much guessing as to which community the thieving scumbags belonged to either

Thanks ficklejade. We are the other side at Kelso. So far it’s ok fingers crossed 🤞. I have to agree about the likelihood of who the Thieves are Audi man. Makes me so angry to hear about this going on really boils my blood.
