Caravans have been stolen from seasonal pitches on campsites. Also from storage sites. Anywhere thieves can work unmolested while they remove security devices. They will do this with gas torches. Caravan theft does happen. They are not casual thefts they are targeted by organised criminal gangs.

The caravans they steal are mostly large late models of both UK & German make. The caravans then generally get sold & used among the thieves ethnic grouping.

While the % of caravans that are stolen is small if the caravan you intend to buy is new & large then it is of the type that could be targeted if you are very unlucky. You need to speak at length to insurance companies before you buy to find the security devices they require & the type of storage places they will accept & the cost of the policy.
