Yes, unfortunately I think whilst you have that particular van it will be difficult to get past it. Every little bit of damage is a horrible reminder. 😢 so sorry it happened to you.❤
@@CheGypsyWay Actually it’s one of the worst places to leave a car of van . Seen the same thing happen in the UK , cafes are good places to for thieves to watch .
Agreed.. People need to realize they being watched all the time. It's the way it is where I live, In a tiny village town, we being watched all the time, they know when we leave our houses to go shopping, that's when they'll break in.. in broad daylight .. Here they actually don't care if you home or not, they still break in.. I was held up at knife point, I woke up in the early hours of the morning to find someone in my bedroom.
Easier said than done, but just keep on keeping on like nothing happened, they’ve forgotten about your van already. Unfortunately there are people like this in the world, don’t let them steal the wind from your sails. As for cameras, some might find it a deterrent and others don’t care. Same as a bar in the windows…yes it limits their ability to open them but it would open the door to smashed glass. There’s no rhyme or reason to a thief…if you live you life worried about them, your not living for yourselves. Better luck for the next leg of your trip!
I'm so sorry, you guys! Someone broke in to our home in 2004 while we were out watching Independence Day fireworks. By the way things were scattered about, we think that the robbers were IN our home when we pulled into our driveway, and was sneaking out the back while we were coming in the front. They had enough time to steal some inconsequential stuff that was lying around (video games, a camcorder). It's been 20 years and I still feel uneasy at times, especially when I am away from home for vacation and whatnot. Sometimes I come home and expect to see my front door wide open and my home completely cleared out... Maybe I need BetterHelp, lol.
So sorry for you. We had sadly a similar experience in san sebastian. Bright daylight, in front of a busy cafe, with parking guards around! - and an alarm installed - they took only expensive stuff (electronics and a binocular). Unfortunately - to late - I then bought a safe for our van. Now it will be much more complicated and theaves will need more time - I hope we are safe now - or should I say a little bit safer!? Be careful and all the best for your journey!
You gotta do a police report for the insurance - assuming you have insurance - then either find somewhere local to get the damage fixed or head home & get it sorted at the owners place.. I know you are on a trip but as its not your van, it needs to get sorted so you should be cut your trip short and get home.. Unfortunately van break-ins happen, its uncomfortable and infuriating. Get yaself home, sorted & reset for another trip
@@tonyhawk123 Its logic you simpleton.. at the end of the day DO I CARE.. No.. as long as people are safe that's all I care about, but as I said, its not their van..
Shits. there not words for it. sorry this happened to you guys and the van owners. so much damage for so little. Also sorry for your loss. sending love and heeling your way.
I have seen this van to rent but that's awful in full daylight and I bet they pretended it was their van they were breaking into if people asked. Did you put it up on the local socials incase there were witness? I think they may have even followed you and pounced as soon as you parked up and left. Did you notice the people watching you leaving the cafe on your video? Not saying anything but they could have continued to watch you which is scary.
You can get a security camera app and use a old cell phone as a security camera then you can use your phone to view the footage both phones need internet though
It's very possible they put a child through the window and had them open the door. They also could have told anyone walking by that they'd locked themselves out or something.
Something to consider, Kurt & Snow here on RU-vid installed 3M window tint on their Van's Windows. Someone tried breaking into their van with a brick at night while they were sleeping inside. That 3M window tint prevented the window from actually shattering to where the person could put a hand in to unlock the doors. They had to buy a new window, but the 3M product saved them that night 🙏
So sorry this happened to you.. This is what we live with in South Africa, someone is robbed here every second. I woke up at 4 in the morning in January with someone in my bedroom who held me up at knife point.. Was terrifying.
my mother was dragged out into the garden my father was made to kneel with a gun to his back...Kuruman South Africa ...the sold everything and moved to Europe... Hungary...we had so many burglaries in SA, friends raped and hurt😢
We decided not to stop in San Sebastián last month after reading so many reviews on Park4Night about break-ins in broad daylight, even at the aire - including that review you read out. We haven’t ever been broken into but we do have an extremely loud (deafening actually) alarm on our van with bright blue flashing LEDs on the front and back bumpers and van alarm notices on the windows.
I can fully understand your reluctance to leave the van, we had an attempted break in on a caravan on a campsite in Spain early 2000's. We think we may have come back just in time, the front window had been broken in an attempt to reach the latches. We reported it to the police but they just shrugged and said we had to visit another police station miles away. Then 10 years ago we had our caravan stolen off a campsite in the UK despite hitch lock, supposed angle grinder proof chains on both wheels, and additional door locks. Never to be seen again. Of course "CCTV on the campsite was not working" and again police were not really interested despite it probably being the only one of it's kind in the UK at the time and sporting French plates. They just gave us a crime number. Apart from the van we obviously lost all the contents including cameras, laptops, passports, money, clothes and electrical items. Decided never to have another caravan and switched to motorhomes but even now 10 years on we are still apprehensive about leaving it. Those sliding window locks are easy to force entry and I have made a u shaped bar that can be slipped over both sides of the lock and adds an extra bit of resistance to anyone trying to force it open. Also have CCTV with motion detection and a tracker, both which give an immediate alert if there is movement, people or van and Fiamma safe doors on every orifice. But in reality it doesn't really matter how many steps you take to secure your van if they want to get in or steal it they will find a way, it just makes it a little harder and less attractive if there are easier targets nearby. Just one thing everyone should check on their insurance policy and that is how much the contents are covered for. Whist we eventually (took six months) got a good pay out for the van the contents was a miserable £500 not even covering one camera. You live and learn. Another cautionary note. Now I'm not sure whether this could happen in the UK but I think it's worth being aware. Our caravan was insured in France with one of the international insurance companies - or so we thought, as that was the name on the policy. After making the claim and not hearing anything for a month I visited the local office where we had arranged the policy and quickly felt I was being given the run around and couldn't get any information as to the progress on the claim. Another month went by and another visit to the office and some very heated exchanges when they said they could do no more and we would just have to wait. This is when I started to get really annoyed and reported all this publicly on the Insurers Facebook page. All of a sudden the local office was back on the case but still being evasive. I finally got out of them that they had farmed the insurance out to another insurer that I had never heard of and that was the reason they couldn't progress the claim. Eventually I got the name of the other insurer out of them but they too were just as evasive. It took another 3 months before I eventually discovered that they too had passed the insurance on to a third company and again I had to fight to get the name of the other company from them. I then contacted the third insurer direct and I have to say they were excellent, and settled the claim very favourably without further complications. Needless to say the first insurer lost my car, caravan and home insurance as a result.
Buy a broken camera and tablet like ipad. Put it in cupboard and hide your own ones well. The thieves will want to get in and out quickly. They can then steel the broken items, thinking they have been successful.
Spain.... Another van traveller we follow got stalked too in Northern Spain while staying over night in a car parking, almost the same area 😢, be careful beans
I think you were in the wrong place at the wrong time but right time for those thieving scum bags..they must have seen you also had a baby on board, hopefully you’ll enjoy the rest of your trip…
With a sliding door or window, something like a stick or rod that you can place in the track to prevent the window from sliding may help to ease your mind ( and if visable, may act as a deterrent). All the best.
I had a thief break into my wooden fence, get into my walk through door to my garage, then stall my car just before this Christmas (2023). They looted the $1000+ items inside then luckily dumped it in a nearby neighborhood. Found it a few weeks later. But it's left me paranoid and hurt because I still need those things that were in my car. On a positive note; I did get my car back and insurance did pay me for my stolen items! Almost broke even. I now have Tile gps trackers in my expensive things and many cameras in and around my house. The feeling of vulnerability will fade with time but will never quiet go away. I'm proud of you guys for staying in the van and continuing your adventure! Way to get back on the horse!
@@celticwarrior777 It super sucked and still gets to me honestly. That feeling of vulnerability is hard to process. I'm very thankful that my insurance was so nice and accommodating.
My son is a computer professional who had a lot of very expensive equipment in his home. When it got broken into they ignored all of those things because it didn’t look like items that would be found at the average computer store (I.e. an iPad or your Switch) they left them. So they took a few thousand dollars of stuff and left $20,000/$30,000 worth of equipment. Thankfully thieves aren’t usually to bright!
Its more bright when you think about it… small electronic goods can be hidden easier, carried easier and wont be out of place in day to day life. Theres always someone to fence those goods to where as specialist stuff would be quite easy to track down with a miniscule customer base andsuspicious without documentation.
I don't think it's that they're dumb. They know what they can fence. People buying $20-30k commercial equipment aren't looking on Craigslist for a deal. And given that it's unusual equipment, likely much easier to get caught.
Every time I see a campervan conversion video and I see people cutting a big hole in the wall for a window I shake my head. The complaints about vanlife are always security, cold, lack of privacy, and noise. All of which can be better if you don't cut a big hole in your metal walls to put in a big piece of glass. And the more popular living in a van becomes the more vans become targets for thieves.
I guess you're not familiar with the concept of RV double pane acrylic windows, with thermal screens. Add a security bar going across on the inside, you just solved all the issues you mention - and added light, ventilation and views to the van experience 🤔🫡🚐🪛
I was in a car accident once ... I was bit frazzled when the tow truck compnay came to tow it away when I went back a coupld of days to get things of value like my pepper spray and all my loose change and quarters for the tolls ... the tow truck operator stole everything that was somewhat valuable...
Thanks for sharing your cautionary tale. Especially your perspective on the bigger picture of what is truly important. Life on the road has plenty of ups and downs and you handled this perfectly. I don't recommend the Nappy security system though.
If you think of how many nights you've successfully slept in a van without incident, this is a fraction of the time. It'll probably never happen again.
I got left for dead in my own home, van life seems safer to me ... despite even this BS. You just never know. Should be plenty of cameras surrounding that van.
What are the odds of a camper van that are usually loaded with portable electronics and personal items that are parked in public locations being done over after they watch you load up all the stuff you need for a nice long walk. "If only you could install an alarm system that include cameras that could send an alert to your mobile phone!"
So sorry to hear this news. I’ve actually caught someone that was still in my vehicle when I came out to go to work. I scared them so badly that they climbed back out of the broken glass window. I yelled “I hope your mama’s proud of you”. They left their crowbar behind.
So sorry this happened. It’s a good reminder to everyone who either leases out a van or takes a lease on one to make sure liability is spelled out in the lease agreement AND the liable party is fully insured.
You have to report it so that the owners have a number for insurance claims. This is why I'm going to only have small windows in my van with anti-smash window film on side passenger windows. Anything to make it harder.
Sorry to hear about this. I had the tail-gate window of my 4x4 smashed and my bags stolen, parked on-street in the South of France. Nothing of value taken, but losing all the clothes right at the start of the holiday was a pain, fortunately I had washed some clothes at the camp site the night before, so at least had a change of clothing. The 1,600 mile drive home to the North of Scotland with a sheet of polythene for a rear windscreen wasn't a lot of fun. Five years later I was till finding bits of broken glass in the rear of the car. After that I was pretty nervous of leaving the car parked anywhere, especially with no rear window, but you gradually adapt and the fear subsides. As you say, it's all just "stuff" and can be replaced.
You have my sympathies. It was a year ago today that we were attacked in our van, parked in the country outside Naples. We were not harmed, but it took about 6weeks for us to recover.
Oh my goodness I’m so sorry to hear this. We are so thankful that it was just material things stolen from us.. sending lots of love to you. I imagine something like that would definitely take some time to recover from 💛
So sorry you got broken into and hope the owner can repair the damage OK! Obviously, the. Local Police need to patrol that area more often. You can imagine the perpetrators may have been in the café opposite and perhaps saw you leave. 😢
Sorry to hear this has happened to you. I was watching another van life video this morning that was in Spain also and they made the comment that Spain is notorious for campervan burglary. It makes sense to have cctv in the van along with an alarm system if not fitted.
So sad for you guys and the owner of the beautiful van 😢 I guess the owner’s insurance have a deductible than what the damages was? So I guess you will pay the owner for all the damages. I hope you have a travel insurance for your losses? It’s a tragedy that people do crimes like this and make one uncomfortable and insecure about traveling. I guess that’s why I only travel around the world to places I know well or been before. I live in Spain, on Tenerife, been living in Montréal for many years and I’m from Norway originally, and learned myself 7 languages to coop with all my travels. I’m 56 years old, and no crime have gotten my way so far, I guess I’ve been lucky 🙏🏻❤️ Best of luck to you guys ❤️🙏🏻👌🏼
I had just moved into a new apartment. I hadn’t unloaded a box of albums. All first additions of Elvis. And my whole car was stolen with my collection. I didn’t even care about the car just give me my albums. Every time I go into a parking lot and can’t find my car quickly I panic. This happened years ago.
So sorry this happened, terrible! I've had my car broken into, the police came and took fingerprints and within a coulple of days they found the person (guess who) and arrested him. Unfortunately when you invite foreigners from 3rd world countries to flood the west, crime will skyrocket, and the police just shrug their shoulders and no nothing. This will sadly just keep happening more and more because they know they won't be punished.
I have had my flat burgled, cars stolen, bags stolen. It is so upsetting when it happens. My flat was burgled by my next-door neighbour! He was caught, but my laptop and the rest was not found. All this happened in Birmingham when I lived there. Now I live in a village in Oxfordshire and it feels much safer.
@@TravelBeans Yes, he had a drug problem it seems. There was a connecting fire escape door into my flat from his. This was a converted house made into flats, hence this bizarre design feature. The carpet got caught in the fire escape door as he exited, which is how I knew it was him. It took the police a few days to catch him though. I felt quite sorry for him, although the consequences for me where quite serious and inconvenient to say the least!
Those flimsy sliding window catches are not fit for purpose. Any van for work or camping needs all the entry points beefed up. Criminals know all the weak security points in all vehicles. So you have to be pro active. Blink or equivalent cameras also rely help if you have a 4G router in the van. You get a motion alert.
❤I’ve had a former home robbed. They absolutely ransacked the place. It was definitely traumatic. It will probably hit you in different ways at different times. Especially since the poor owner will be experiencing it all. Also just dealing with the “business side” of things is tough. Don’t be surprised if you are feeling hard things along the way. That’s normal. Let yourselves have the grace to do whatever you need to feel safe and comforted. I’m just so glad that you’re all safe!
After u realised the van had been broken into I would have one stay back with the van while you went to the police. These scumbags always get itchy fingers to return to the crime thinking they may have missed an item, like the other Switch controller!
They are watching you from somewhere. Those window locks are rubbish people build these lovely campers which are expensive then put rubbish locks on it doesn’t make sense. Although I had window key locks and a seperate lock top and bottom and got broken into 2.45 in the morning. And I heard the lock snap off put the light on ran down stairs kitchen window wide open. I went out side it was pitch black and he was sitting under the window I saw the Jemmy bar in his hand as the light court it i shouted 🤬🤬 and raised my hockey stick and he ran off to the side of house and out through the gate. It was then I realised I was stark naked🥴🥴 I turned round went back in phoned the police looked up and he was back again outside the police arrived in 4 minuets wit a police dog and 2 squad cars but he was gone on his way back to London they said. They actually said I was stupid to go after him as it’s a very dangerous thing to do. Jon
So sorry to see this happen. Learning point for us all that locking cupboards can lead to a lot of damage. Glad you didn’t lose any original footage. Kit can be replaced but footage can’t. We had our car done 4 times in the New Forest many years ago. Totally put us off leaving the vehicle. In the end we were leaving everything open so thieves could see in. Eventually the nerves wear off. Keep in mind these thieves don’t want an encounter, just your stuff. ☹️
I'm thinking of stop locking my van and put a sign on the window saying "it' open - please feel free to go inside and have a look! No valuables inside!"... It's the damage that is the worse. I never leave valuables in the van.
Look on the bright side (relatively). A break-in is more to do with the area than the home. At least with a home on wheels it can be moved and the victims minds reset to some extent. With a fixed home there is the concern the thieves will return.
Police must find them.We have surveillance cameras all over the place here in Turkiye and I’m sure Great Britain able to afford them to put them up too.I’m sorry for you guys but at least nobody got hurt.
I can ensure you that the police won't do anything, someone stole the steering wheel from our car, and the police came and said they won't sent the forensic police to take fingerprints, because it's a waste of public money and they will only be sent to important murder cases and bla bla 😅
I had to drive to the police-station after thieves broke into our van - and I thought the police will look for fingerprints - nobody cared (they only have been interested in my broken door lock - I think because of insurance fraud - this was very frustrating for me in this situation!)
If this happens often: you should look into a dash cam. I have the Rove. You can view while away from your van on your smart phone, laptop or desktop. It has 3 cameras with Wide view. Night vision, audio, GPS, Speedometer tracking and so much more. The views are front, rear, and cabin. It’s very small. Comes with everything you need. Wire are very LONG. of course you can’t see them. I like being able to open the app and view all videos/pics from all 3 cams and I send the dash cam pics/vids just as I would if I was sending a pic/vid from my iPhone to an email or as a text message. Easy to use and definitely worth it.
Glad you keeping perspective. Terrible unfair thing to have happen to you guys. I have had my house broken into, and everything touched - even mattress moved, food in the fridge all tipped over ick, everything rummaged through, and I felt so I don't know is gross, people were everywhere. That was the worst part, not what was stolen or broken. And that they get away with it, is unbelievable. We had a family living in our basement apt. with keys to the house as look after our cat ( who was in their apt. with their cat at the time) , but in broad daylight, in good neighourhood, when they were out at work, the thieves broke in. Have to not let them win , so the next weekend we were off camping again. Took awhile to get over the worry. Please enjoy your trip. Wish you all the best.
So sorry to hear this, that must be absolutely awful. I can’t imagine how long it must take to recover from something like this happening in your own home. Sending love 💛
I had my rental car broken into while I was on the Guinness Tour in Dublin, they stole what was in my cooler but didn’t pop the boot where my Mac Air was
I can relate, Our home was broken in thru kitchen window on Christmas Eve while away at a Xmas Eve family dinner and the thief opened all the gifts under the tree and took the valuable ones, but, the worst is the feeling your left with that awful energy lingering in the air of being violated. It’s crazy after so many years, this feeling resurfaces every Christmas.
I've had my car broken into a couple of times. One one occasion at a nature reserve and they stole my camera bag with around £2000 worth of kit. It was out of sight but I suspect they'd seen me getting out with my camera and long lens and guessed there would be more... But the whole tidying up of broken windows and reporting to police etc left me feeling bad for 2 or 3 days after. My sympathies to you and the owner.
When we went to Costa Rica a few years ago, locals warned us NOT to leave any valuables in the rental Car because thieves loitered around all tourist spots. It was a pain to hike with our electronics on us in our backpacks. We also had to take turns getting in the spring water because of carryimg our backpacks. In Greece the housekeeper will leave your hotel room balcony door unlocked so the thieves can easily get into your room. We asked for no housekeeping during the short stay in Athens, however, the housekeeper still came in while we were out & she left the balcony door wide open. We asked her why she came in & left the door open, her reply "I was airing out your room"! Fortunately, we had only gone around the block to buy bottled water & were only gone 20 minutes. We explained what happened to the front desk manager & were disappointed in their not honoring our no housekeeping request.
@@alangauld6079 awww nightmare, what are your thoughts on stealth camping now? I’m thinking of getting a caddy but I’ve heard similar stories to yours, is yours a big van? Anything which could be recommended to prevent this
It hasn't happened to me in ten years of full timing all over Europe , so it is rare . no consolation i know( and i'm probably due for a break in !!) . Also I have a secret very well hidden compartment for hiding i-pads , macs money etc and a good tip is to leave out a sacrificial old phone to give them something to take .
I can't even imagine what you guys feel & think you're both very brave but smart to rip the band aid off & get back on the horse, as they say. We're more than glad that y'all are safe!!!!❤❤❤
Always take your I pad and phone with you.Or at least have a secret compartment to stash them.A thief is in a rush and will simply grab what they see.Anything hidden gets left behind. Something I picked up after being burgled repeatedly.
What a world we live in, that it can happen in broad daylight and on a busy road. It's shocking. People moan about CCTV but I think it should be all over the place in public areas. Glad you are all ok though. xx
Cameras are great but with politics and activists whining, police are ineffective, the courts are ineffective and illegal immigration which combined are extremely problematic for hard working, law abiding citizens.
@60something. The vast majority of crime is by locals not immigrants. I used to work in our local courthouse so I am speaking from real experience not something from media.
@@snafufubar There has been a number of cases in the media, but I am speaking from what was told to me from family members in New York, NYPD and New Jersey, NJPD, who also stated there is more illegals happening than are being reported as well as the number of crimes in my area by illegals which is growing. Nonetheless, in my comment I mention police and courts being ineffective first then added “and” illegal immigrants. Due to politics and activists, recidivism is high and numerous criminals, citizens, are not being prosecuted at all. Ice is not being called in when illegals commit crimes, and many of them are being released almost as soon as they are arrested. That being said with millions of illegals, the majority who do not qualify for asylum status, (single men between the ages of 18 and 40 committed a crime just entering the country illegally, not to mention the gotaways, gang members and those working for the Cartels. If you do some research you will find illegal immigration is a problem in most Western countries. I had not even mentioned the fentanyl crisis in America alone, over 300 American die daily from fentanyl poisoning, which is either being brought across the border illegally or the components and made here, and the majority of those involved in that endeavor are not American citizens.
Almost 20 years ago my new van was broken into on a motorway Aire in France. I was asleep in the back when the passenger door opening woke me up. I shouted and they ran off. The only thing stolen was a pair of broken binoculars that were hanging on the arm of the passenger swivel chair, which was turned around, putting the binoculars on that side door. You feel violated when things like this happen and I really feel for you. Don't let it put you off, I didn't and I'm still using a campervan now though only in the UK.
Many years ago, our vehicle was broken into while parked overnight at a nice hotel. Thankfully there wasn't any damage, just theft of items worth several thousand dollars that were stored deep inside the trunk of the car. Several other vehicles were broken into as well besides ours. We now empty out any and everything of value from the vehicle when parked overnight. I'm so sorry this happened to you guys but like you said, you are safe and that is what is important.
they were probably eeing you guys for awhile ..when they saw you leave they probably had someone following you to make sure you would not return for awhiel which is even more creepy . I will never travel to spain
im so sorry you have been broken into , it happened to me and my family after moving to a new area we had never lived in . it was an horrendous feeling and was very scared to leave the house for a very long time , then when we did everyone looked suspicious to us . We ended up moving back to our little village where we grew up and felt safe , but we have never really got over it and do certain things to this day to feel safe going out . Take care and enjoy the rest of your trip xx
stay away from built up areas will help…… but you need to keep valuables with you at all times. Spain and Portugal have big problems. Dogs on board stickers might help !
I'm sorry that you all had that horrible experience of having your van broken into. I know that there are no guarantees in this world but I hope you all will not let that awful experience derail your love for exploration and sharing those experiences with your little one. It's going to take some time to not only repair/replace what was damaged/stolen but to regain your equilibrium. Yes, I know that this will be much easier said than done but that doesn't mean it CAN'T be done- and you all HAVE achieved some amazing things down the years that others had considered impossible or out of reach. Please take comfort in the fact that you all HAVE overcome other obstacles and setbacks in the past and use that knowledge to gain strength to overcome this awful setback to emerge stronger and wiser thereafter! Take care!
Too much of this is going on. Some have resorted to putting security cameras in and out of the van. It may not always deter people who are determined to break in but hopefully it’ll give them pause and rethink. Sorry that this happened!
Im so sorry you had to go through the disgusting dirty feeling of being robbed, your personal space being invaded. Absolutely disgusting!! Im glad your all ok. I've been a victim too! Such a dirty feeling. There are 2 things in life that i detest, A liar, and a theif!!
So sorry for you guys. Don't lose your love for travelling, please. BTW, an old trick is to put a chopstick in the track where the glass slides. It would stop them from opening the glass so easily (although it wouldn't stop them from smashing the glass, like someone did with the other camper in this same video.
perhaps they wouldn't smash the window in broad daylight with people around but you just never know. this is one of the things that's worrisome to me, as if i start traveling in a van i will have pets with me and always scary what can happen then. stuff is replaceable but pets are not.
@@lamoinette23 Get a recording of an angry dog barking loudly, and hook it up to a sound activated switch. If someone opens the window the switch is activated and the burglar hears the sound of the dog. I can almost guarantee they would think twice about entering the van.
Our apartment was broken into while we were on our honeymoon. We had left all valuables at home because we were going on a cruise and didn't want to have expensive jewelry and extra credit cards with us. They took a lot. Everything of value was taken. Electronics, jewelry, a firearm. Horrible feeling. It didn't take that long to recover. We were angry more than anything. And after all of the valuable things were gone, it didn't matter if anyone tried again there was nothing left to take at that point. :) We moved from there about three years later.
Don't tell people that what wasn't taken or damaged (inverter, batteries, etc) was "way more valuable". This is just handing over knowledge to future thieves and puts the rest of us in more danger.
Perhaps a better description would have been "more costly". I can't see there being a street "market" for inverters and batteries, so although expensive to replace, no value to thieves.
My car has been broken into a couple of times speakers CD player and other electronics were stolen never got them back and never heard anything about it and it sucks but there's not much you can do 😔 I'm sorry this happened to you guys❤❤❤
Awww so sorry to read this, we are currently driving through France heading to Spain. We are constantly being vigilant because we have our cat on board! And we don’t want to lose her! I hope the rest of your journey goes better ❤
