Campground Theft
Well it finally happened. A 13 year & 1800 plus road nights streak has been broken. 2 nights ago we were in our most used MD SP. It happened to be one stormy night. I guess thieves don't care much ...

I vaugely remember a number of small generators being reported stolen from Rvers over time,here. In some cases with them chained or cable locked to the Rv.
Coolers and beer, in state and county parks, especially ones with lots of people driving through, and worse on busy holiday weekends.One reason we avoid such RV parks. Use to be reports of lots of tailgates stolen especially ones on larger diesel pickups which cost an arm and two legs. Wheels and tires off campers, anything and everything off picnic tables, and strapped to ladders, and bikes,and...power cords which ain't cheap. Another reason to lock the cover on the pedestal over the cord, They'd be get the shock of their life cutting it near the RV other wise. Been rather few reports of campground thefts, here, for a while, though. But anything not welded on or guarded by pit bulls and a loaded shotgun has and will be stolen. Rvers with those generators or spare fuel in cans use to mix diesel and a variety of other things in decoy fuel cans, that seemed to dampen the number of thefts. I think I will find a different campground, if I have to stat bringing along armed security to guard the site.
Dreaming up way to foil,deter, catch, make them wish they hadn't tried, thieves at campgrounds and even our driveways use to be a favorite subject. Myself I favor C4 in chunks painted to look like rocks and triggered by trip wires, or I'm considering for a replacement for Dakota a black bear, If I can just figure out how make him more discriminating and if I can buy a trailer for the toed and housing for the bear. Maybe not.
