I used to love caravanning in Broome but I would think twice about it now.
In January I posted on Exploroz that In Broome, cars were being stolen, and trashed at the rate of 10 per week. Our state minister for Aboriginal affairs, who went to Broome for a leftie love-in, with the PC brigade, the police and community elders, said “he had met with enthusiasm among local leaders to find a solution”

My friend, a local builder in Broome has told me “Nothing has changed, the problem was put in the too hard basket and swept under the carpet as usual”

Yesterday the following letter was posted in the West Australian

The current spate of caravan park break-ins in Broome requires urgent attention from the State Government.
Damage to caravans, vehicles being stolen and burnt-out, theft of personal items, purses, wallets and phones are just some of what is going on.
In some instances, individuals may not have taken all the available precautions to protect their property. But these out-of-control juveniles are very brazen and gain access to the insides of caravans while the owners are sleeping to remove car keys and purses. Mostly these break-ins are in the early hours, about 4am.
