It was before FT Turbs was his momma's worse nightmare. 1973 in Knoxville, IA.

Easy to remember as it is the only incident we've ever had. Don't know that our 2 boys (little angels that they were) didn't precipitate it by running to the little Coleman cooler (yes, the little pink one that mysteriously ended up in front of FT Turb's trailer in Goshen) all day grabbing Pepsi's/ice before going to the sprint car races.

I'm glad no one here can tell stories about me in my younger days.
As for now I lock the door but nothing else. Grill cooler heck I would loose the keys to the golf cart if I took them out. We never lock the door if I'm home but I almost have a deterrent close by. Steal it if you must but don't let me catch you.

I'm glad to see that there is a nice variety of security levels here. Much like any neighborhood I suppose. There is always that guy that has a security camera on every corner of his house, roof, chimney and fence. I guess the moral of the story here is just don't be that guy. You know, the one who sits watching his security DVR in all of his spare time. Life happens and even the best security does get trumped at times, as someone had mentioned previously. Doesn't mean you shouldn't be cautious, just find the balance.

First time to get burned was last year in LA. Had a toolbox and a suitcase taken right out of our storage. Toolbox had about $1000. worth of tools, at least that's what they cost me to replace. The suitcase had clothes and meds, meds were a PIA to replace. We were getting ready to leave the area and went for one last walk. When we got back the storage door wasn't shut, they must have been watching as we were away from the site for maybe 10 minutes. Everything is locked now when truck and RV will be out of sight.

Got this at costco last year, 3 cameras, weatherproof- night day

We don't lock often, 30+ years of camping nothing stolen so far. Nothing we have is much worth stealing. Grill is old, chairs are old, I'm getting there..... give me a good excuse to get new ones..... Do take the keys from the golf car & lock the truck at night. Only thing I hear much about getting stolen is ever now & then coolers left out with beer..... teenager opportunists.........

I agree 100% Location, Location, Location.......

Our Security Manager & her assistant take care of the rest

I have always believed that Locks keep an honest man honest, but only slow down a thief.
I only keep out what I can afford to lose. If I would hate to have to replace it, it is locked away.

[Coops1]

Unless we're in bear country the BBQ & stove is out 100% of the time, we do however move our chairs under the trailer every night or when away.

Common sense and a feel for the area goes a long way
Don't invite trouble in by leaving certain items out.

I'm a trusting soul and it's bit me only a couple of times, mostly at home. Last weekend we left campground to come home for a graduation party, had my truck parked on an unused site (took wife's Yukon), gave the keys to the guy in the site next to it in case it needed moved while we were gone. Met him only once before. Never thought a thing about it. I would much rather someone take my stuff than to damage something. Vandalism is the same as theft, but just senseless.

Edit: It did bite me in Goshen when a group of individuals decided to leave about 50 rubber dicks hidden inside my camper!

But you came out on the plus side of that episode. Even the factory got in the act.

LOL. We have a boxer too. Problem is that if they have any kind of food with them she'll help them carry stuff out.

I swear, our girl will eat herself to death.
