Caravan owners have been urged to improve security on their vans after two were stolen in Perth's eastern suburbs during the past fortnight.

Police said a caravan valued at more than $85,000 was stolen from outside a man's South Guildford property this morning.

The man was woken about 3.50am by the sound of a vehicle driven slowly past his house.

He went outside to investigate and discovered his caravan - a Supreme Territory model - which had been locked on the verge of his Houghton Close home was gone.

Police said a padlock used to secure the towing hitch had been cut off.

East metropolitan crime prevention unit Sgt Garry Tuffin said the theft had raised concerns after a caravan had been stolen in Maida Vale on February 10 "under similar circumstances".

He said the caravan was stolen from Advent Park on Kalamunda Road was also a Supreme Territory model.

"I strongly urge all caravan owners to consider upgrading their van security as a matter of urgency," Sgt Tuffin said.

Anyone with information on either theft has been asked to call Crime Stoppers on 1800 333 000.

I guess the same can be said for boats, expensive bike/race car trailers etc. Lock it or lose it!
