Very Mad

Some lowlife POS broke into my Coachman Concord and tried to start it by destroying the ignition switch. They got in by breaking the door locks, and scratching the paint in the process. I can't take it get the doors fixed until I get a new ignition switch. I am not looking for sympathy, just reporting what happened.

That truly sucks! I've been in your position and know the gut wrenching feeling of someone having encroached on your space. I hope you can get it remedied quickly. Sorry that it happened.

So sorry! That's awful!
Glad they were not successful at driving off with it. That would have been catastrophic. Hope you get the new ignition switch installed soon.

Sometimes it seems like the criminals and low life’s are gaining. Glad they didn’t get off with it.

Yes, we had a low life POS break into our rig once. We kept it stored at a storage place that had the garage type locker storage as well. They did some considerable amount of destruction to the unit and stole quite a few expensive items. We left it packed because we were heading back out in 4 days. We learned that all of the campers were broke in to. We think someone had a storage locker rented in there. They broke all of the lights on the buildings facing the campers for near total darkness. We think they kept all of the items in their unit and sat on it for sometime before moving and walked out the gate that had no camera on it. We now keep our unit at a small gated, security camera area that has about 40 campers, motor homes and a few boats only. We have not had any theft problems since. Knock on wood.

We were in a storage facility that included locker storage. We moved to a vehicle-only (mostly RVs & boats) facility because of all the locker users moving through the facility.
