Guy and is wife pulled up on pitch next to us yesterday, didn't say hallo or owt, could just tell they didn't want to get in conversation, so this morning was quite surprised, their tuggers by the way, when they said morning, bit later on my wife heard her on the phone saying they were felt safe now and security here was good, this afternoon they spilt the beans, they had been robbed on a service station where he had pulled up for a kip, they were in the caravan next thing they knew they had a torch shining at them, this bit made me laugh under my breath, his wife jumped up and had a pop, thought shit mate that should been you, they got robbed of 1500€ They called the police who couldn't come straight away as they were dealing with another robbery on the same service station, apparently a motohomer had been GASSED, the guy in the Motorhome was at the gendarmerie the same time as the tugger giving info and told the tugger that they laid there could see what was happening but couldn't do anything, but they did see the guy who was robbing them had a canister under his arm don't know how much they got off him 2K is the norm is it not, as title says don't shoot the messenger, this is how it was told too me, what you reckon?

Who carries that much cash in a caravan or motorhome and doesn't have it locked in a safe?
If l did it would be under my pillow, not in a bag out in the open like theirs was.

Was a newbie, now a Middie.
There is an excellent place to hide cash in an x250 cab, you need to remove a bit of trim to get to it, but unless you've been shown, you'll never find it, no need for a safe, and I always keep my 1000 euro in there
Er, you still at home??? :)

There are more idiots about than you realise, we were on a site in Spain about 15 years ago a Motorhome got robbed woman's handbag stolen had a £1000 quid in it................left if on the table by the window that was open!

Rarely carry more than a couple of hundred Euro & that's split between us.

As I've said before, we have , as many others have, a prepaid euro card, and never have more than twenty euros in cash in the van, we can use the card anywhere or get cash at any machine, actually , even though they don't know ,that doesn't stop them breaking in but they would probably have more cash on them than us, apart from passports and a couple of old phones there is very little anyone would want out of our van. We travel very light.

Not long enough, but a little common sense helps..........
I think ALL MH owners should sign the petition I was thinking of starting on the "petition.parliament.uk" called Petition to stop gassing of Motorhomes in the UK and EU. Perhaps it will get more votes than Petition for Aires in the UK.

11yrs, but many years a tugger.
Unlike some of you chappies/chappess, and the VeryOldMoIceCreamInternetMan, we have been at this lark for only about 12 ishhhh years. Never been robbed, gassed or anything and never met or heard of anyone who has. And we have overnighted in some unusual places. :sneaky:
