Theft prompts warning from
police
'Vanners urged to be more security
conscious
Have your say
QUEENSLAND police have urged caravanners to invest in wheel
clamps, chains or hitch clamps.
The plea comes after
thieves took off with a caravan parked at a Sunshine Coast
retirement village.
But their efforts were foiled when the RV came
adrift while attempting a U-turn ... a padlock had prevented the tow ball
from locking properly.
The crooks escaped without their spoils and
the caravan was returned to its owner virtually undamaged.
Sergeant
Yvette Tarrier reminded all caravan owners and users to take simple
security measures to deter offenders from stealing caravans.
"There are a
number of devices available that help secure caravans, trailers and horse
floats," she said.
"They can include wheel clamps, chains or clamps
for hitches.
"Of course, most importantly, if you have the security
make sure you use it.
"It’s easy to think I’ll do that tomorrow
... but tomorrow you could wake up to find your caravan stolen."
