Oh such paranoia! In 13 years we have had one incident in our first storage area, they took the exterior camera off the back of the coach, that was 12 years ago. I store in an open lot with gate and fence enough to stop a determined 12 year old (maybe). It is on a high traffic road, but not terribly visible, have not had anything taken there.
In campgrounds we leave our grill, chairs and tables out when we go off for the day. One day we came back after 8 hours to find the door and screen wide open!!! no one had been in, the racoons had not even been through to scoff up available food and for some reason the mosquitos stayed away too. Just lucky I guess, still not sure how we managed to leave the coach wide open like that. That was in Fort Desoto near St Petersburg FL.
When you leave the doors open do you also leave the keys in the ignition and a pile of cash out in plain view? If not, is it because of paranoia? Being cautious and not wanting your stuff stolen or messed up is not paranoia, it's common sense.
