Just to let people know who may live in the western suburbs of Sydney that there is a couple driving around flogging vans from peoples driveways. It was on today/tonight last night. The theft of these items has increased dramatically in the last 12 months or so. The people in last nights clip caught on home security were driving a white looked like a VR/VS commodore ute, one lady one man. So just a friendly reminder to keep it locked away if possible, and they did say the caravan last night had a lock over the coupling...................

G/Day Mate, Yes saw that as well.Blatan Thieving Scoundrels those two!!!.


But it does make you wonder about the coupling lock, or was that just said by the owners for insurance reasons, as it didn't appear to take them any time at all to hook the thing up going by the security camera.,,,


Cheers Axle.

I must say i'm surprised by the number of vans/boats/trailers I see when I'm on the road without a padlock of any type installed, it does make one wonder.
