This should get things moving 😜

[Caz]

Why the cynicism?
I know a bloke,who knows a bloke,whose barmaid told him she knows a bloke,who knows a woman in their street,whose Uncle knows a bloke whose daughter and husband were gassed in Skeggy and had all their chips nicked.These things DO happen.

Yeah, but that was seagulls, not highly experienced professional jewel (and Rolex) thieves.

this was a case where the russians tried pumping gas into a building to rescue hostages the gas apparently killed half of them over a 120 deaths down to the large animal tranquilliser that was supposedly used as the base for the gas

Sounds like a sting by Kung Fu Panda to me.

Maybe KKK

 

[Penny13]

Ron says I gas him regularly. How rude !!!

 

[Penny13]

On the campsite we had to stand straight faced as an older couple explained their gassing not once but twice ...

Guy at work used to do silent and deadly - walked away with a smile on his face but you knew what was coming

I'm glad you all find gassing so funny.

We didn't find it funny when thieves with knives (we know they had knives because they slashed the van interior) broke into our van while we slept. They stole lots of stuff including things under the bed. My wife normally wakes up if a bird lands on a van roof the other side of the site but slept through it all

The Police said there had been a lot of gassing in the area (NW Belgium) and that was probably what happened to us.

Sorry most of us are bored being stuck at home out of necessity or common sense and we are all biting or making mistakes

looks as though wully has started the train rolling again chomp , r4dent though i don’t dispute you were robbed the cynical comments are because of items like the report below, to gain entry & administer something like chloroform i would agree is possible but to gas an entire train carriage/ caravan/ villa less so also an anaesthesist i know says not only would the cost of the gas be prohibitive but that even a trained doctor would not be able to administer enough anaesthetic in a large volume space without killing some of the inhabitants,


—The robbery of Jenson Button in the South of France while under the influence of an alleged externally administered sedative anaesthetic inhalation agent in gaseous form, gained a robust dismissal by the Royal College of Anaesthetists who ‘… reckoned such a scheme would be nearly impossible’. A spokesman said: ‘Our view is that it is very unlikely because it would be so impractical. You would need to use a truckload of gas, and that amount would be phenomenally expensive to obtain. One has to ask why anyone would spend so much money on what is such an impractical method’ 1 . The French police were also sceptical, although there has been previous alleged gassing in France, one of the footballer Patrick Viera, another the fashion presenter Trinny Woodall. Vapour monitors will detect gas in truck cabs and motor homes in the United Kingdom. 2 The Royal College can be challenged on counts of impracticality, volumes, and cost. Inhalation agents chloroform and trichloroethylene (trilene) are anaesthetics of the past, and chloroform has been used for criminal acts. 3 They are easily available, the former is a solvent, the latter an industrial de-greaser, and both can be purchased (with restricted sales) for a modest sum in the United Kingdom, and presumably in France. Trilene was available off-the-shelf in French supermarkets until 20 yr ago; removed after its abuse was noted. Avogadro's Hypothesis when applied to chloroform gives 22.4 litres of gas at standard temperature and pressure from its molecular weight in grams of 119.38 g. Taking into account liquid density of 1.49 and at 20°C, 80 ml of chloroform will give 24 litres of gas, representing 100%, in a closed chamber. The minimum alveolar concentration (MAC) required to eliminate movement after a surgical incision in 50% of patients anaesthetised with chloroform, is within the range of 0.5–0.7%. MAC of trilene is considerably less at 0.17%. A sedative effect may occur at half of this percentage, and for a closed room of 4×4×6 metres (96 000 litres), 0.8 litres of chloroform will produce 240 litres of (heavier than air) gas. The considered route of entry into the presumably sealed Button villa was via the external air conditioning fan unit. Both Chloroform and trilene are sweet smelling, and with a slow induction of anaesthesia from a soaked ‘wick’ into a sleeping household, any smell may go unnoticed. Criminals with an anaesthetic bent (or vica versa), may well practice use of these agents in villas of different sizes, in order to refine delivery times and safe administration.

I did not say it was funny, I said it was unbelievable and according to the society of motorhomes difficult to achieve.
I note that you do not say you were gassed, but are quoting a police theory on the possible cause of your unfortunate incident.

[Wully]

Eeehh what have I started. I was mainly getting at the point they always seem to have four or five Rolex watches a few diamond rings worth 60k how mainy people have that lying around especially on holiday and that rag of a newspaper how much did they pay for the story. It’s a Grey area and open for discussion and the odd piss take. But I posted this not with the intention of upsetting any members who may have had a bad experience

 

[n brown]

another possibility is that the thieves are better at their job than most people would believe . when i was on the streets i saw a sleeping man have his shoes untied and stolen , another had the blanket he was wrapped tightly in slowly and painstakingly unfurled and removed . these people do this for a living ,and have each other to practise on .cat burglars aren't called that just for their climbing abilities . there is also a certain amount of kudos given by their peers to those who enter and rob places where people are in residence

 

[korky]

Maybe,but if you go to Skeggy a lot of the people would be better off if they did have their chips taken off them.
Anyway I reckon it was Magpies wot dunnit. They love shiny stuff,particularly a nice Rolex or designer bracelet.

 

[r4dent]

I did not say it was funny, I said it was unbelievable

I shall now sit back and await more tales of gassings, robberies etc etc. Which should keep me amused until Christmas.

Sounds to me like you are saying it is funny.

So we checked and never ever found a reliable , first hand,instance ,where somebody in their vans had been gassed and robbed.

This is a first hand report so you must be classifying me as "unreliable". I am deeply hurt.

I note that you do not say you were gassed, but are quoting a police theory on the possible cause of your unfortunate incident.

True.
The robbers didn't leave a note explaining their M.O.
I did not have a camera recording the inside of the MoHo
I was asleep during the robbery.

I give more credence to the local boys in blue's explanation than the equally unsubstantiated views expressed by those who just discard such reports.

Ive checked my motorhome. Even if it were possible which I dont believe there is no available place to feed gas in. So I can sleep soundly!

Make sure the roof lights are closed in all temperatures; Block up the cab air intakes; tape up all the drop outs; cardboard over fridge vents; and once the whole thing is hermetically sealed don't breath out or you will suffocate.

By the way the double negative implies you do believe here is an available place.
