Well, it’s a good lesson learned and after several years in hoping for the best I’ll certainly be taking more care now. I’ve now filled the locks with hard plastic glue and will be relying on the key fob to open the doors.
Thank goodness for the four legged growler, she certainly saved the day!

Well after reading the site reviews we would not have even considered stopping there? ?
sorry for your troubles and as you say lesson learned do your research before pitching and stay safe?

I'm sure that the vast majority of us on this site are migrants themselves.
Maybe, but we dont break into motor homes or anything else to steal other peoples belongings hopefully.
I am also a migrant, was born in Scotland, I was people smuggled down south to Surrey, when I was a baby:D

I did the research as I always do. On this location on park4night there was not so much as a hint of problems. The Campercontact reviews are for a different area entirely. My P4N review will hopefully help others.

Yes we have found Park4night not very forthcoming with correct info?

We are on our way through Spain to Portugal and stopped off at the permitted parking south of Valencia on the beach. It all started so well, peaceful, great location.... and then at 4.30 in the morning I found two men forcing the Motorhome doors. I disturbed them before they could get in but I now need two new door locks. Fortunately nothing stolen and no other damage although they had actually forced the cab door lock open, I like to think the growling Bull Terrier on the other side stopped them using this way in. Beware!
ps - definitely no gas involved!!!

Call the Police from your Mobile, the number is 091

They have English Speaking call handlers.

The determined thief will find a way and take risks. Did they know it was occupied? I have just fitted a Growler in the hope the very bright external LEDs flashing would at least deter them elsewhere.
We don't have a Alsatian anymore so I guess I'll just have to post Sally on sentry duty:sneaky:
Breaking into a van at night with a couple of old people inside is kids play compared to this. They are not put off by the occupants if there is booty inside...

Please explain what you mean here by "migrant" (from where?) . What makes you so sure of what you claim (which isn't - to me, at least - at all clear.

Not sure this was the purpose of my thread, but in official terms a migrant is a person who leaves the UK in excess of 3 months. So it is quite correct to declare overwintering travellers as ‘migrants’.

Whose "official terms", may I ask? I don*t agree at all that " .... it is quite correct to declare overwintering travellers as ‘migrants’."
