Family "Gassed" in France.....

And of course no one noticed the truck that would be needed, anyone moving large gas cylinders, the sound of a generator sized pump, or thieves wearing breathing apparatus. If they “ escaped over a fence” they must have left a lot of evidence behind. And £1500 haul ( that much cash left after a holiday with teenagers ? I should be so lucky) would hardly be worth the thieves expenditure.
 
I tell you what, at the end of a long holiday in a “small” ‘van with a family of FIVE , you have to say her make up and jewellery look mint, even after the loss of her designer bag
What a trooper.....
 
I had previously read reports that Anethatists say it’s hot really possible to gas a vehicle this way as different size and age requires different quantities of gas for them to be knocked out. They wouldn’t all just drop off together.

And these burglars were seen “by police” “jumping over a fence”
I take it they had the gas bottles with them on a trolley to avoid leaving any evidence

It is complete fantasy and if you read it, worthy of a comic. Daily Mail is a waste of trees
 
I don't know why the French police continue to peddle this myth. I suppose it's easier than investigating properly.
Why would anyone take a designer handbag in a campervan anyway. Although they forgot to mention the rolex I expect a certain amount of healthy scepticism from their insurance company.
They would have to pretty well gut my motorhome to get £1500 quids worth. We don't carry much cash and probably the highest cost item is my phone, and as that has a cracked screen they probably wouldn't bother.

No Rolex watch stolen? Obviously untrue then.....

Aiming a bit low if anyone thinks £1500 covers a Rolex these days, more like £15000 and way beyond. This story is about as water tight as a fake Rolex.
 
It would cost more in gas than they took. So what really happened? Perhaps they pulled up, tired, went for something to eat and left the doors unlocked or went to sleep and left the doors unlocked. Either way the Insurance Company would not be happy.

Not being pedantic but the mail story is from the sun
 
It's reports like this that give the gassers the information they require. Two adults the age and gender of their three children. A quick entry into their gassing app will give them the precise amount of gas to make sure all five are unconscious for the given period. Standard safety practices, never tell anyone how many occupants in your van... ;)
 
Gassing a Motorhome... That's Nothing.

"And in 2015, Jenson Button's villa in St Tropez was ransacked by robbers while he and his ex-wife were asleep - with the couple claiming they had been gassed.

The Formula One ace said thieves took a £250,000 engagement ring belonging to his wife at the time, Jessica Michibata.

As well as Jessica's pricey engagement band, it is believed another £750,000 worth of items were taken in the break-in. "

Now that's worth an insurance scam. Gassing and entire villa!

But it's always, "the police said" but never a first hand quote from the police.
 
The thieves left this behind....?

But The Mail repeated it,,they do love fantasy..Doubt it was in Telegraph or Times..BUSBY.
 
Well, how stupid is that?
 
The report says no holiday insurance so what’s to gain , perhaps household insurance.
