almost stolen camper

gqcamper · September 30, 2011, 01:20:28 PM

the biggest pain in the rear is going to be undoing all the locks that i will probably attach now,already went out and bought a KLAMP IT wheel clamp $200 i didn't need to spend right now.
i do like the piece of box section to go over the pin and lock.

at one time few yrs ago numerous Patrols were going missing at Medowie near Newcastle, with many being members of Outers... there was Shit loads of suspicion going around at the time about some sort of link between it. Can you think of anywhere easier to find out where and whose home when and what cars have what accessories? apart from 4wd shows? it only takes a part photo of your car at home for scrotes local to there to make the link.

This to me is why threads like "RING THE BELL TO TELL ALL THIEVES NOBODIES HOME" are plain dumb.

It may do nothing to blank out # plates but it maybe worth it, I do it as courtesy on our club website.. I've met numerous people off here in recent times that dont even tell anybody when they are going on a trip, even for a weekend...

g'day lost i think this time it was just an opportunist because the trailer had only been here for a couple of days getting ready to go away.
normally it lives elsewhere under lock and key,we only bring it over when going away.

I reckon if you sat outside tonight in the shadows, you'd see them cruise past again....

Based on previous experience this is likely as they have now removed your lock and they would be thinking that its now unsecured and ready to go. Definately get another lock on that camper asap.
When my car was almost stolen they broke the window and tried to start but found a kill switch before i woke up and chased em.
Next night they tried again but i had installed an alarm so they did not get it again...pricks....

Anyway LOCK HER UP and sit in the shaddows for a night- baseball bat in hand......

Bit off topic but along the same lines.
If you ever have your car broken into and your battery stolen, sometime in the next week it will happen again as they know you now have a brand new battery.

I would be sleeping underneath my camper with a nailgun tonight and nailing a few feet to the floor if I was you

Seriously though, you must have done something good to someone because that is some good Karma that just came your way

TroyE · September 30, 2011, 05:32:07 PM

your dam lucky they didn't just take you on and them steal your CT, good result for you. cancan if you do find out any thing from your friends of friends of friends on what is hard for them let some of us know.

it always pay to have things insured, as much as it hurts to fork out the premium, it hurts less than loosing your stuff.

gqcamper · September 30, 2011, 06:36:01 PM

I agree burnsy someone was looking after me.
Troy the camper is fully insured just would have been a pain digging through the shed to get the tent and the bits and pieces to go with it to head away tomorrow.

Robbo · September 30, 2011, 06:54:15 PM

Just a tip for added security

skapinad · September 30, 2011, 07:33:02 PM

That sux... I never really thought about security, mine is sitting there ready to go, though I am a rear access lot, so a bit harder, might have to clean the shed out and lock it away !!

rotare · September 30, 2011, 07:38:57 PM

I like this one personally...

G'day craigtempo i believe it's been pretty common up your way for the last couple of years,also a pretty hot market for GQ patrols around there too.

TroyE · October 01, 2011, 07:25:05 AM

maybe I should put a kill switch on my troll, cause she'd be really hard to replace being a duelcab
