Securing a caravan

While there is nothing that will stop a determined and well prepared thief.

Fortunately the majority of theves and neither determined or well prepared...so there is no reason to make it easy for them.

So many of the anti-theft deviced are designed to sell rather than work well.

Start by looking at what ever you have and think how would I go about steeling it.

with any trailer start with the bolts that hold your coupling on....in many cases the theves just unbolt the coupling complete with whatever coupling lock there is.

There are a number of devious methods to slow em down removing the coupling.

keep looking and thinking from there.

Remember if you are looking at chain.....a grinder will get thru anything eventually....but mild steel chain is a snack for bolt cutters...at least get some high tensile transport chain.....they will need big strong bolt cutters and strong arms to go with them.

When my van was stolen the insurance investigator told me that the fact that it was in a locked yard was adequate, and anything else that I did to secure it was up to me. I had no trouble getting the pay out from the insurance for the van.

I did not receive any payout from the insurance for the contents because I could not provide acceptable proof of what was in the van (receipts, warranty documents or photographs) so I now regularly photograph the inside of the van, with the cupboard doors and drawers open, and keep copies of all receipts on a file.

Hope this is of assistance to all.
