While at the Spanish grand prix last week we fell into the trap of feeling secure amongst fellow campers from around europe.
On the second night we retired to bed without setting the internal alarm or locking the hoesafe locks. (Resident security on site) All we did was lock the doors. We woke up to find some things had been disturbed and it soon emerged that our passenger door lock had been forced with a screwdriver or similar and entry was gained to the front of the van. Had it not been for the captain seats being turned and lots of junk in between them the thieving gits would have got completely in.
As it was we lost a few euros and it will cost us a new lock from fiat.
Let this be a lesson that complacency is an enemy. I was so angry at myself especially as I had recently had the alarm repaired and fitted the hoesafe locks myself.
One thing is for sure though.....WE WERE NOT GASSED, I HAD NOT HAD A DRINK and i am usually a light sleeper. I gues we were just so dog tired not to have heard anything. Lessons learned! :Blush:
