Two years ago a group of people broke into the fairground barns that are used up here for winter RV and boat storage. Over 300 RV's and boats were stored on site and only a handful did NOT have the power cords and pigtails stolen. The lucky ones that did not have their storage compartments locked only had the cords stolen, the ones that were locked were pried open and most had significant damage to the door and door frames. Not saying its a common occurrence but just because its never been reported on the Open Roads forum don't mean it doesn't happen.
Apples and oranges vs. having a cord stolen
Ummm that's exactly what was stolen, pigtails AND POWER CORDS, the point being that for whatever reason there is a market for this stuff, but whatever apples and oranges I guess.
RV's being stored are broken into on all the time. There are many post telling of thefts in multiple RVs at various storage lots across the country. This scenario is much different than a individual cord theft.
RVs in storage is often targeted by thieves. Those thieves are generally after a lot more than the cord!
While I'm not naive enough to believe cord theft doesn't happen. It is no where near the problem of RV break ins on storage lots.
If I kept my RV at a storage lot I would be very concerned about a break in, however I am not very concerned about my cord be stolen
