Hello Dave,

Value.
Don't forget that newspapers are in the business of selling papers, and this story would look far less sensational if they only quoted the caravans current market value. Instead what they do is add up all the money this couple reckon they've spent on the caravan, so that for example was 20K to purchase a few K's to kit it out, the cost of insurance, and sites fees since they bought the caravan.

Over the period of ownership they may well have spent 30K, so the headline is not lying, its just not looking at its market value.

By the same process if my 12 year old Espace was pinched my headline would read "Profs £57K car stolen!" which looks better than it's current value of about £1K.

Very puzzling as per the BBC "When police found the caravan last September a 22-year-old man was
arrested but later released without charge after he produced evidence he
had bought it in good faith from a man in a pub."

It was found last September and only come to light now in the newspaper?

If it was my Caravan and the police would not retrieve it i think i would take it into my own hands to either retrieve it or make sure no one has it by building a little fire under it.
What about the real owners human rights dont they have any?? It seems to me as though these low life criminals can do what they like and hide under the human rights shield.
I dont see why the owners didnt have it insured but it does not give anyone the green light to pinch it.
The Police need the throw the human rights law book away and grow some balls go in mob handed and retrieve it.
Ironically we the taxpayers who pay our council tax have no rights and get no help from the police, yet those who travel around breaking the law and paying No tax at all have so called human rights

The Police are now reviewing this case , allegedly with a view to recovering it.
Don't hold your breath.

It took the police over a year to find it in the first place and for another year to pass before it came to light in the press. I still wonder about the long delay in it being reported in the press.

What is legal insurance? It is a pretty important question to ask: "what is legal insurance"? Legal insurance in a nutshell is insurance to protect you from legal costs should legal proceedings be instituted against you or you decide to proceed with legal proceedings. This means that you pay a legal insurance company a set premium per month and they, in turn, will provide you with legal services up to an agreed annual amount.
