Sorry to hear that. It's heartbreaking for so many reasons. Bloody mongrels! How did they get it? I hope the Police are on to it. With the cameras over highways these days, the chances of getting it back are pretty high. I don't know if anything will be in it though. I'll keep on eye on the park here too, just in case they're silly enough to pull into a park. The bus is probably in a shed being rubbed back and resprayed right now, and the tools will go on ebay. Stay calm and I hope it works out for you.

What a damn shame, we will all be looking out for the bus no matter where we live. They could go anywhere with her, the mongrels. Have taken special note of details.

Hi A R, We were in bundaberg today and since we have been on G N we have been keeping a close eye on travelers in vans and motor homes hoping to spot a G N sticker. Now,i don't know for sure that it was your van, but i did notice one similar to it today. If it s in the hands of the police, i would suggest that you ask the bundy cops to have a good look around for it. Hope this may be of help to you mate and i hope they catch the low bastards. Cheers mate, Rob.

So well appreciated and to all who have been keeping keen eyes. I will keep everyone posted.

This technology networking is good stuff. There are eyes and ears everywhere. I hope you get your bus back and they catch the low mongrels. A couple of weeks ago 2 blokes walked into this park and casually walked a camper trailer out under the boom gate, and hitched up to their vehicle in the car park outside the gates. Security cameras got them, but I don't think they've been caught yet. The odd thing is the trailer was only just bought by fellow park dwellers and wasn't registered yet. So someone had to be casing the joint to know it was there, as it wasn't in view from the main road in the park. It wasn't even a flash, fancy camper trailer, it was just a home-made one. Now they've put a camera outside the ladies bathroom to catch a "Tom Peeper". What next?

My lttle Gypsy could easily be lifted by 2 blokes. No way to secure it really.
As for the peeper, I hope they catch him and the women get to deal with him!
Cruising Granny said

Well Beth, there is a way to secure your little Gypsy. You can get tow hitch locks. They're not very expensive, available in the trailer section of the nearest auto shop like Repco, Super Cheap Auto or Auto Pro etc. If you're parking it up for any length of time you can drive/hammer a star picket in at the V" of the A frame, if you get my meaning. It adds just enough resistence to urge the would-be thieves to move on to some other booty. You can chain it by the wheel rims to a solid post structure in your garage, carport or verandah at home. Anything that's a slight deterrent to make what would be an easy steal, a tougher steal, should send them on their way.
