Hello,

I know this may seem minor and trivial to some people but its the principal of matter thats so annoying,

My caravan is kept on a cassoa gold storage site so i thought it would be safe but 3 times over the last 8 month i have been to the van and found things missing or tampered with.

Fortunatly up to now they have only been minor things but even so it is annoying,

firstly my hitch cover went missing, then next time the battery door had been opened and catch broken and now i find that somebody has taken all the screwcover from the wheelarch spats amd corner panels. as i said only minor things but still means i have to pay for replacements.

By the way let me say i hold no responsibility to the storage site, i personally believe (even though i hate to say it) that it is a fellow caravanner on the storage compound as the bits concerned are of no use to anyone else than a caravanner.

Rant over

It will be mentioned to him, at first i just thought it was to minor of a thing to bother him but i will be now so he can at least warn other caravanners or he may know of somebody else having problems. 

Hi 2Barnesand1dog, I would certainly say to owner of the site, he should have CCTV, and may show the person responsible for the theft, I would also have a look around the yard to see if there is a van with a damaged wheel arch, presumably wheel arch will only fit that type of van, the thief may intend to return to remove the wheel arch after doing the initial work of loosening all the screws, you pay a lot of money for secure storage, and that is what it is supposed to be (secure), the site owner has a responsibility to stamp out any type of theft from his yard, as it will eventually adversely effect his business, his reputation as safe storage site, and not least his insurance premiums  when caravan owners claim him for their loses, unfortunately there are scumbags amongst the caravan fraternity, and not just limited to the wider society. Hope you get problem sorted soon.
