To be honest, I have only ever been hit once. They grabbed a rubermaid action packer that normally held all of the "trailer" accessories for my PUP. It was at a CA State Park that had a public road going through it that had no entrance kiosk or gate, so access from Highway 1 was very easy.

Bummer, those bins aren't cheap! I read on this forum about batteries being stolen and theft diversion so just wanted to know what some others have experienced. We don't have a theft problem where I live (exurbia) but I'm unwilling to donate my camping gear when I'm on the road so will look at some mods for keeping everything secure. Right now, my '72 Starcraft isn't a likely target but scatter a bunch of useful items around it and I can see where it would look inviting to the wrong crowd.
