Been to caravan storage check ours thankfully ok but been informed other caravan owners have been broken into sad to say , but even with good security no one is completely safe
We check our caravan on the outside first to see it had not been tamper with also the storage has CCTV , Motion detection and hidden cameras all around the site . one caravan we did see had broken windows and door lock had been tamper with . also looking in one caravan we saw everything including the kitchen sink on display . but nothing was taken.
Storage site owner informed us today that 10 to 12 caravans had been target unsure what they were but Police been investigated
I'm sorry it was necessary for the site to send the message, but realistically it's unlikely teh site operator would know each caravan well enough to know is something was missing or wrong in all cases.
I'm glad yours was not affected, but for any that were, it could be very distressing, and of course it might mean their holiday plans have to be changed.

Good to hear yours is OK. We do leave the curtains open so anyone on the site can see it is near empty although if it is dark that may not work.
Thanks for that but we also leave our blinds up and curtains open and the only thing they will see in ours Aquaroll and electric hook up cable and that it

I guess that for the site owner, a mass email is the best option. If the thieves were in and out with little trace of obvious forced entry ( and skilled thieves are good at that); then the site owner may not know for certain which vans were affected especially if it is a very large storage site ( our last storage place had in excess of 300 vans). Better to get everyone to check their own vans in a timely manner.
Glad you were OK BB. Feel for the people who weren’t.

It’s not that long ago that a member had caravan door ripped off whilst in storage. (George and Ade) Guess it like older cars the parts become more valuable as supplies begin to dry up.
Hi Dusty some years ago we were on a caravan storage site and most of them had there water heater and cassette stolen and we think that was use for spare parts
I know a lot of people worry about the possibility of fading in the interior, but we have left the curtains open for years on various caravans and it has not been a problem.
