CASSOA storage (1 Viewer)

[Happy1]

Friend of mine just had his van stolen from an approved site they cut through three padlocked gates and away they went with the van with no keys (its a ford transit coachbuilt). Anyone know if the site insurance covers any loss or is it just down to your own insurance?

Would guess it would be motorhome owners insurance. Contract with storage site should have clauses in it covering this eventuality.

When we stored our Caravan in a Cassoa Gold Rated Storage place, even though it was placed inside a very large hanger, with 24hour CCTV, locked gates, and owners living on site being a farm, they insisted on seeing our insurance docs to cover theft & damage.
Therefore I would assume that it would have to be the owners own insurance that any claim could be made on, NOT the storage facility.
Hope he gets it back soon in one piece.
Best of luck.

My van is in a Cassoa gold site, my insurance have house postcode and storage postcode so I ASSUME I would claim my insurance. The site I'm on is like Fort Knox with various gates , cctv , and alarms. The unfortunate fact is that if a low life wants something they'll get it eventually. If only it wasn't illegal to electrify the door handles , one zap and scrape them into a black plastic bag , no smileys , I mean it.

Which means they must have been in their once before to clone the key with the master & get one cut before coming back to steal it using the obd port ?

Now you have made go into my inspector clueso mode.
They must have known the position of the van also, as when we stored the caravan, we had to give the owners two days notice of us coming down to enable them to drag it out from maybe 4/5 rows back in the storage barn.They now have two of those enormous steel sheds, much like aircraft hangers, and store well over 300 vans, working farm my A##e
Inside job you reckon?

Not necessarily the first thing I'd be asking the owners is who has been there "looking for storage" & wanting to see the security ?
That would be my first thought.
To steal it using the cloned key & obd means it must have been visited once to get the key pattern , as I said before, then returning to steal it.

So if it had cctv then it needs to be checked & trawled back through to see who went near the stolen van previously.

We're on a CaSSoa Gold site too and the security is impressive; on-site wardens at front and back, full CCTV surveillance, electronic gates which are locked out of daylight hours. Also have water, waste disposal, a wash bay and sell Calor - there is a small caravan sales & service business alongside too. It helps that the site is surrounded by secure factory premises. They are quite proud of their record of no significant thefts or damage in 40 years of business. Their prices are reasonable and there is a long waiting list for pitches.

However my insurance had to have their arms twisted to cover us as the postcode is in a supposed high risk area. Don't bother either going to CaSSoa with anything, they're only interested in charging site owners who have to fit highly expensive security measures to get a Certificate.

Happened to us in Cassoa Gold Site and our motorhome insurer, Aviva, paid out for damage restoration. Site owner not interested, had to push for a discount off that year's storage fee!
