When people ask what my security is, to stop others stealing my motorhome

I usually say that the joyriding thieves, would pick a faster vehicle

I will now have to have a rethink, and watch out for 40 year old females, with 2 dogs

Why? You would have plenty of fresh air that way biggrin If the dogs had an accident inside there wouldn't be as much smell biggrin

Nothing like a re-model smile

I've always thought this was a simple way to avoid vehicle theft.

You will not stop someone who is really keen, but if you can delay the time it takes to knock off a car it will solve most problems.

A block of wood Velcroed under the accelerator. A quick & easy second line of defence to a chain. No idiot in a hurry will think to look to remove such obstacle.
