We have been camp hosts at Fort Worden State Park for many years, and yes there are those that will steal ice chests, beer, liquor and sometimes food. It really does suck when you get hit. We try to remind people to keep the ice chests locked up. It usually only happens on the weekends, and nice ones at that, but you never know. Most of the time it happens early in the morning. If the ice chest is close by the RV or tent, they usually take it to the edge of the site and then take the stuff inside. Occasionally the ice chests disappear as well, to be found later in the bushes or trails. It really makes us mad as it does the rangers, but it happens. We used to live in an area where we locked up everything at night, and we have always done that at the campsite as well. It is very frustrating. The police patrol, as I'm sure they do Grayland. Locking up the ice chests and anything you don't want taken makes sense to me. It is too bad that a few bad apples can ruin a great time. If things were taken in the daytime when campers are awake it would be a lot easier to catch the bad guys.
