Stolen !

[The Swede]

If ever you see one of these, it's probably somewhere up North or in Devon. You can't fcuking miss it...

Three days before hoping to get a bit of a holiday...

Came home yesterday: They ripped open the electrical gates, managed to get the wheelclamp to dissappear and bypassed the HD hitchlock.

Meanwhile they smashed brutally all lighting around the house to bits.

Nothing else went missing, but sure as hell the Evo is not coming back from the dealer at the moment.

Call me if ever you see one of these, there won't be 2 of them in UK.

shit the bed, are you serious? cant have been me as I wouldnt have been able to tow it out the drive without crashing.

Did it have any security fitted? I assume it's insured?

Yes. Gates were secured, there was a hitchlock in titaniumcoated steel and there was a wheelclamp. Forget any of it detering them.

Two biggest issues (besides insurance) are

1. what's next ? If they come in like that, nothing seems to stop them

2. cannot get another caravan in time for the holiday

[Gee Wr1]

Is nothing safe anymore!!!

Probably being towed by a transit pick up & offering to tar your drive Pikeys

Didn't realise the size of your van till i saw the 2nd pic you just posted, thats got to stand out wherever it is.

[SPIKE LIKE MIKE]

Sorry to hear that mate

Can you not rent a van on a camp/caravan site?

[bbigman2000]

That sucks swede, but to be truthful, they did you and the rest of us a favour lol, one less hold up on the roads

p.s in all seriousness, I hope you get a fair pay out.

[John Mc]

I'll bet on Pikeys Swede.... fcukin dirty coonts. Should be shot, every last one of them...

You won't want it back after those theiving barstewards have had their pikey mitts on it.... only one hope... that they die stealing it!! Ouanquerres

@ bbigman

I hope the day you want to go with your little boy on a holiday you've been waiting for the entire year, the same happens to you.

We know it's travellers, John, and sure I would probably not want it back.

But the reason we think spreading pics is useful, is because Wilk only made 5 of these since September 2008. 3 are sold in Germany, 1 in Austria and 1 in Italy... Hen's teeth?

Police came along and somehow hopes that, since this one stands out so much, it would be spotted more easily and might allow them to catch the gang that has been terrorising the region since weeks stealing motorbikes, caravans, burgling, etc.

It was stolen night of Saturday 27 to Sunday 28. So should have been on the roads yesterday.

[Megaman]

Bastards they clearly came prepared

[WR 1mposter]

Sorry to hear that Sandy, but can not you just go and slum it in hotels so Hannu has some holiday at least.

If its that important to you just hire another one swede !! Caravans are ten a penny for rental, how long does it take to pick up the phone book a caravan and go and pick it up ?! goodness me man, no need to get all down about it.

Glen, it's got be be upto Sweede standard and not your normal everyday british peice of crap caravan, trust me they are crap compared to Sweede's

[The Swede]

Not into hotels. Very crowded in summer and no privacy. Doing hotels already for work the entire year.

Thought of renting a caravan where we go every year and where my parents stay. Only 1000,- Euro a week... I sure don't wanna go and camp where Bbigman goes

We'll see. I first hope they manage to do something with the info. Would be great if these guys could be stopped.

[WR1 Bro]

Sorry to hear this mate.

[The Swede]

Sorry to hear this mate.

I'll need your advice on security. I remember you had to look into the issue a while ago.

[bbigman2000]

I'm afraid I dont do anything other than 5 star swede,. you wont find me on any campsites

I wouldnt hold out much hope for the police finding it, that is of course unless it falls into their lap.

You clearly never have been out in a proper caravan and to a proper site

We'll see. TBH, police must be fcuking blind if they miss this one on the road.

[bbigman2000]

I will admit I have stayed in a couple of residential caravan's and they werent to bad, aside from I came back pissed and fell through the wall between the bedroom and bathroom

It was my ex's fathers pride and joy, he often boasted it was £50k mind that was in the early 90's

[Foley]

Sorry to here this swede just shows if someone really wants something they'll get it

[CAVEMAN]

hey Swede, you sure it isn't the old dear that you have had the issue with?

Paying somebody to get rid of it on her behalf?

Bad news mate...hope you get the swines that swiped it...but should stand out. Its fookin massive!!

[WR1 Bro]

Sorry to hear this mate.

Give me a call.

It is so much more than losing a material item.

[POESY]

Thats bad news swede, real bad, feel for you fella Do you insure caravans then?

Saw the evo this morning on my way to work - looks well

[RobinSherwood]

Sorry to here about this, leaves such a bad feeling when scum break into your property and steal stuff

[danr55]

I have no idea what these cost, but would it be worth fitting a tracker to one in future?

[The Swede]

Most caravans now are fitted with trackers, axle locks, locks on the pegs, hitch locks, alarms, etcetc.
Any mechanical obstacle gets broken. For the trackers, they seem to have a device to locate them in the caravan and by the time they have left your drive or the storage, the tracker is already out.

Many people seem to not know how much security is required at caravan storages across the UK. It's just stupid. They need to have CCTV, alarms, barriers, bollards you can raise, ...
The UK has the second highest number of caravans in Europe (approx 700000) and the highest rate of theft (about 20000 per year !).

The insurances put bigger requirements on storages and on customers for caravans than on garages and owners of cars!

@ poesy: Yes, caravans get insured. The value of one like mine will vary between £25K and £35K with the most exclusive Tabberts and Polars topping £80K. So you want something like that insured.

Sorry to hear about this Sandy, I'll keep an eye out for it on the road myself on the off chance, as you say it would be difficult to miss it.

With the Merc hooked up it must have been as long as a 40ft artic

Thanks, mate.

With the Merc, the total length is about 14.5m or more than 43ft indeed. You'd expect the police to notice that... if they were even bothered to assign a guy to the file...

Well, just to try and be a pal...I popped in here today since it was sort of on the way home at 3pm...

I wouldn't think they'd stay in a nic site. Unfortunately, I cannot figure out where the local gypsy site is in Binfield.
