Robbery.

Regarding travellers being robbed by whatever means whilst on the continent.


What I find hard to believe is that these motohome owners, carrying so much cash and credit cards and jewelry and looking like "I've got more money than you" Harry Enfield, should be the type to take what is known can be a risk and kip in a rest area or layby!!!!!!!!

£3000 on security equipment? Wouldn't do a lot of good if you had allegedly been been gassed and didn't hear it, or stop a hammer thro the window.

I think that the thieves would find it more lucrative to chuck any (unconscious) owners out onto the grass and steal the van.

I do know some caravans were broken into on an Aire very close to Paris one night last year as we were parked up the other end and were woken by all the kerfuffle. What was happening was a load of kids coming out from Paris and going along checking caravan doors and any that were open they were just peeking in and nicking anything they could find.
We always lock ourselves in our van at night, and the only gas we have come across is after eating eggs bacon and beans !!
 
Subtlety

Crackpot,

I think your subtlety is wasted on here as I do not think a couple of members understand it! Seriously!
 
I see no reason why the subject of security should be opening a can of worms.

When we have to park up at night in a layby to save a fiver on camp site fees, we find it that in the morning that perhaps we haven't slept as well as we might have done, due to the subconscious awareness of the hoards of brigands roaming in the hours of darkness, searching every layby for the unsuspecting motorhome owner to rob.

Robbery by garages and main dealers happens on a national scale to thousands of you every day but you dont winge too much about that subject.

Yes, but it's only a couple and the rest do.
 
Pity we cannot have an articulate, inteligent and adult conversation, but would it be fair to exclude so many?
 
To be, or not to be: that is the question:
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of outrageous fortune,
Or to take arms against a sea of troubles,
And by opposing end them?

Have you seen Richard III? or are you waiting til you've seen the first two?

Hello George if you want interlectual coversations why not P M Admin and request a pub to have interlectual coversations, you could call it the interlectual arms it seems to me that you hunger for articulate inteligent and adult conversation ;)
 
I can't say I'm a great Shakespeare fan myself...

....However, for sheer blood guts and perversion of every description, Shakespears 'Titus Andronicus' takes some beating.

It makes 'Reservoir Dogs' seem like a kiddies program...

...and the minor spats on here totally insignificant.

But then, you can get away with anything in the name of 'Art'

So you like to hug strange men and spend your time hanging about in the woods.

Do you like hanging around mens public lavatories as well by any chance ?

Just checking, because the country seems to be full of stinking perverts these days and I do like to know who to avoid.

What country is it that you are talking about then and how do you know so much about it, I thought it was in America, someone called George springs to mind.
