Warning La Marina Theft

Forgot to add, any recommendations for repairers near Alicante ?

I realise that it was a while ago since you were broken into but I have only just read your post as only joined a few days ago.

In 2013 I had a malfunction with our hab door in Javea. I took it to Movil Rodan, about half an hour from there. I do not know if you have had it fixed or that they are anywhere near you but I hope it helps.

One little tip.
When we leave our van, we usually leave a pair of shoes on the step, thinking that anybody having a quick look may think we are inside, having a kip!

By mistake, I left my crocs on the step in Morocco.......some bugger nicked 'em.

You've got to leave the van sometimes, but always alarmed with the strap across the door arms.

The strap across the doors is not such a good idea, Mr Scumbag can run a Stanley knife round the quarterlight rubber seal & lift the glass out in 5secs, cut the strap & he's in.

If you must tie the doors together, use a chain. Personally, I've fitted strong deadbolts to the front doors.

I have a cheap deterrent for the would be thief. I place a dog bowl outside the hab door with water in and a dog lead slightly visible. We do not have a dog but it looks like we do, and to date no attempted break ins.

Dont rate the dog bowl trick ,thieves are low life but not neccesarily stupid ,a bang on the side of the van a couple of times and if nowt barks no dog .A strap as stated is useless I had a wire rope hook each end with one of them things that I have forgot the name of in the middle that tignten the wire rope up
