We receive a text message from our caravan storage last night about a break in

Every manufacturer of front towing covers recommends that it is not left on when the caravan is in storage for a very good reason. Dust, leaves etc get inbetween the cover and the body of the caravan and when travelling the cover moves enough to possibly cause scratches.
Well in our caravan storage there a good few who leave them on but we do check it regularly and wash the caravan before we go way so far it has not cause any scratches

That’s so they can identify the uninsured, no MOT, no VED, no licence users. Did your site have CCTV to identify where the thieves came in. Mine had cctv coverage, plus a transponder to access the site, which was you personal identification. You swiped going in and going out.
Hi Clive they have CCTV and hidden cameras including motion detection and on the day the thieves got in nothing came up so they said they are going to have it improved . so we think it will go up more next year but what is important is the caravan
Could it have been an in house job, by owners who store at the site!
At the entrance there is pair of big gates and you have to put a number in and they open and then you come to another with barrier and number that goes up and finally to the gate which is numbered and barrier and CCTV
So the front is covered the rest open. Hedging your bets BB🤪
Hi Dusty probably so but maybe to lazy to take the towing jacket off 😎
I wonder how they do that sitting in the office 5 miles away having their tea?
Hang on a minute, Why are comments blaming the police?
Who are the ones that are causing the problem. Its not the police, its the members of society who decide to act antisocially.
It's not the individual officers fault there are too few of them, and its our politicians who determine staffing levels, and the number of forms they have to fill. And just like any worker they are allowed to have breaks.
If members of society were not so keen to be criminals, we would not need the police, blame society not the police.

I do not remember anyone blaming the police in this thread. What has been indicated that they lack the resources due to politicians so blame lies with politicians and no one else!
A first year Police Constable starts on £23 k. Not a lot when he / she has to face some of society’s scum. The U.K. has 20k vacancies for Officers. There’s a surprise 😵💫. I doubt watching caravan compounds are at the top of their priority.
My caravan is adequately insured . If it gets stolen we don’t want it back . It can be replaced.

In my first year as a police officer we were paid £750 per annum in 1968 or £62.5s.0p. Beer was 11p. Cost of fuel for a gallon was 2/6s which was expensive because we had sanctions imposed by Mr Wilson. I stayed in the police mess so had a room and 3 meals a day. We also had a pub on the premises. Managed very well on my salary. 👍 😀
My grandson joined the police after graduating with a law degree and was based in Bristol. He resigned after 12 months on account of the bureaucracy and attitudes that he felt were 30+ years behind where society had progressed too. He now holds a senior position with a international construction consulting services company.
It makes you wonder what quality they expect. A Police Person has to know the Law, be fit for a punch up, and literate for all the paper work . No chance on virtually the minimum wage🤬
I know what you mean. Our granddaughter is on an hourly rate equal to the national living wage for a 23 year old of £9.50 ph as a waitress. She has only just turned 17 and in addition keeps all table tips and a share of card tips. So it puts a new constables starting salary to shame.
Our training was 6 months in depot learning everything from musketry, equitation, fitness and of course the law. We also had to learn the customs and language of the indigenous people. Minimum pass rate for all exams was 60%
Once you had passed out of depot you then went on a two week driving course on motorcycles and Landrovers. After 6 months out in the field you could apply to do the patrol car driving course and wait to be selected if you were lucky. We had the straight six supercharged Austin Westminster cars.
When our country became no more many left the British South Africa Police and joined various forces around the world. Most of those that joined the British police force left within 3 years as they felt they could not do a policeman's job any longer due to PC and politicians interference.
Please note that the BSAP in Rhodesia was not the same as the South African Police in South Africa. A differrent police force altogether.
