Attempted Break In
This morning we had someone try to break in. It was only a crime of opportunity, but it was the first time I've experienced this in the past approximately 600 nights traveling and sleeping in the RV.
There was a rental truck parked next to us. I was already awake at 6am or so and heard someone trying to open our main RV door 3 times. They gave it a good forceful pull and gave up after they found it was locked and wasn't going to open easily.
I started paying attention to what was going on outside after hearing this. All the windows were open.
I saw the would be thief walk up the passenger side of the RV and get into the rented truck he was driving!
He looked up at the RV a few times after getting in the truck. I could see him but he couldn't see me.
I took pictures of his license plate, of him, of everything.
But... Makes no sense to report it since he was driving a rental truck anyway. Can't get him fired for it. He's renting a truck. It was a rental box truck probably full of stolen goods anyway.
FYI, this happened in Ottawa, Ontario Canada.
And to the gun conversation... Mine is in storage because it's difficult to take them across borders. The one time I don't have it on me, I'm wishing I had it as a backup plan. What if this guy was successful or pried the door open. May have turned out differently.
