Hint for Newbies - make sure you take photos of your van from various angles, number plates and any extras that make your van different to others. Keep a copy either at your home base or with friends, or both. (no good in the van if it's stolen) Also picture of you with your van. Can't be TOO careful.

Good advice Pricey, I saw elsewhere that some put their rego number on large stickers on the roof, so that it can be spotted by police choppers and planes. The thieves wouldn't probably even know it was there in the short term.

Unfortunately the coppers aren't intersted in tracking down anything stolen unless it has a warm body or a smoking gun in it .

A simlar case where a full sized motorhome ($400,00)was stolen in Qld and only after an accident in SA 6 months later did they realize it was a stolen vehicle . The person/s driving at the time were the low life's who stole it It had traveled 23000 km since it was stolen and had traveled across all mainland states staying in many van parks for extended periods and not one copper noticed it . So much for police looking for stolen property .

Glad to hear the latest stolen van attempt failed. I gold coloured four wheel drive was noticed by neighbours on the farm where our poptop was taken from in Neerim. May be a better chance of having our van returned. Thanks for all the replies from concerned viewers. Regards. Happy travelling.
