Break In
Well, It appears my trailer was broken in to at the storage yard over the holiday weekend. Went by yesterday to drop something off and saw the door frame had been pried. Went inside and observed some cabinet doors open and the window to the curb side slide had been opened. It appears a smallish person slipped through a fairly narrow gap by the closed slide and went inside to open the window so a larger person could climb inside. I opened the slide and looked around.
No damage, nothing missing, nothing trashed. I had luckily taken the televisions out after our last trip before storing it. We are very fortunate that they were just after something quick and didn't feel like destroying.
Walked around a few other trailers near me and probably 20 had been hit. I of course go report it to management and they already knew, had already called the police, and were in the process of going down the list calling camper owners, just hadn't got to me yet.
Said they will be going through the video so we'll see.
It's frustrating that you buy nice things and try to do right and some scum bag comes along and tries to take it. Heck, I'm a cop and take these reports quite often. At least now I'm sure I'll be a bit more sympathetic on my next call.
Anyway, just thought I'd put this out there. It can happen anytime anywhere. Just wish I had the room at my house to store it. Totally landlocked though.
I'll say it again, we got off easy. Only damage was to the bent door trim and I bent it back and it works just fine. Door frame itself has zero damage and locks, what little good they are, secure fine.
