Not so grey nomad
Hi all am a recent member, but have lurked around a lot in the past using the site as an information tool for planning our trips, however now i really need to post.
Last wednesday night 26/10 our Goldstream storm camper was stolen from our place in Yunderup WA. There is not to many of them around, so am hoping it might not be difficult to spot.
I have reported it to the police, although i think last week they were a bit flat out with CHOGM, and been in touch with dealers, caravan parks and ebay and gumtree and the like.
I cannot post any of our own pictures as 'guess' where the camera and memory sticks were, however this is just about identical as our, minus the stone guard on the front, and the shower unit on the side. Also our interior is blue fabric for curtains and lounge insde.
We dont hold out any great hope that it will be found but it feels a bit better to be trying to find it
regards

Hi Not so
grey Nomad.
This is a good idea.
You're story will ge t around from here.
I hope you get it back with all your memories in it.
It might help if you put up the Rego number.
I doubt the thief will look in on this website on this site to see it & change it.
I reckon it might turn up on E bay.
No decent camper would steal one to use as a trade in at a dealer & the dealer would be suspicious if they wanted cash.
Could you register it in the stolen vehicle register. I think there is such a thing where dealers can check.
Wishing you the best of luck.
Bye for now Ma.

Hi everyone, still no camper , but have found out that very cheaply you can buy a GPS tracker, we went searching online and they are available from about $40 . We bought one for $120 that has a 60 day battery life or you can wire it directly to the caravan or boat battery, if it goes missing you dial into the unit and it gives the co-ordinates of where the item is at any moment, the one we bought also logs the locations of any stops it makes along the way. I wish we had know about this before, for so little money it saves a whole lot of grief.
