Campsite/Campground Theft
I read quite often in this forum of people securing anything that weighs less than their RV to deter theft. It is a shame if this needs to be done and I am wondering if theft at campgrounds is as bad...

It is a shame if this needs to be done and I am wondering if theft at campgrounds is as bad as some lead me to believe. I only have a couple of seasons under my belt and I have never been a victim -- I have always left (thief-desirable) things sitting outside, under my awning, sometime for the whole day, without even thinking that somebody at a campground would be so low to steal them. My friend, who has as much/little experience as I do, locks up everything or puts it inside, and I have always thought he is a bit paranoid, but after reading these forums, I'm thinking I have just been lucky.
I have always had the feeling that people at campgrounds are trustworthy and "part of the family" and would never violate another family member. How wrong am I?

been RVing since 1986 and only one instance of theft while we were away from the CG...and that was in 1988. since then no problems. but that one instance taught us to lock the toad at night and to lock the door to the MH when we're away. but we also do not put away the chairs, grill and other things when we're away.
