If you think you won't be robbed

And just a month ago naysayers said there are no robberies in campgrounds.

Hi, Darwin,

A name of great honor and brilliance...

I remember that thread well, as I always fear, well, everything, BUT, as one of the naysayers myself, it wasn't the small stuff being stolen that I was denying. I think we all agreed that little things can be stolen, and often are. It's the TRAILERS that mostly don't get stolen. from campgrounds.

The trailer itself is statistically safer at a campground than in your driveway or on your property, and safer there than at a long-term storage lot. The most TRAILERS are stolen from long-term storage.
And even then, it's still fairly rare.

OK. As for someone robbing 10 trailers, I thought that meant someone STOLE TEN TRAILERS. No. 10 trailers were robbed. OK, I believe that. We do lock up, but we also carry almost nothing of much value. Well, let me be clear. We carry NOTHING of much value except our wallets, and those stay with us. We don't even have a portable radio in the rig, though now that I think about it...maybe that'd be nice.

ANYWAY, being robbed is always a shock, however large or small, a violation that can take some time to get over.

Hope everyone reconsiders their personal security and upgrades, if only just to make sure all locks are used.
