So 2 weeks ago almost now we went away for a couple of nights to the Lakes.
Left on Tuesday about 3pm and back Thursday 4pm.
Friday I saw my neighbour and he informed me that his garage has been broken in to and mine. We have a garage that is a block of 10 or so on the road behind the house with a double drive that we park the motorhome on.
My garage door is bomb proof. Literally nothing is getting thru it.
So what they did was break in next door and knock a hole in the wall to climb thru and take stuff.
My main concern here is does it make it super obvious were away when the Motorhome is not on the drive. Have others been targeted and broken into while away?
I use it for work a few times a month and its now and then at the dealers having install work done so its not always not here when were in. But I guess people won't think that. My wife is worried that I might go to work in it now and they break into the house while she's in with the kids thinking the house is empty.
Should I look to move it to storage? shame as we have a perfect set up where it is with power hook up and not been outside the house to be unsightly and CCTV etc on it.
Its not obvious which house it belongs to as were on the next street up and there are no numbers on the garage. But I do park outside the house to load up for setting off so thats a big flag I guess.
Anyway just dealing with the insurance. About £3500 worth of toys and tools taken as well as the damage to the wall.
The Garage was sat unsecured for 3 days so could have even been multiple people go in. My cameras captured the time of break in with dust everywhere but as they were pointing at the door and they broke in the back on the garage unfortunately they never stepped forward into view. Typical
