You would think all you have to worry about with 30 ft TT is break in's. You do not have a big enough lock on tongue. I had the big Gorilla Guard lock on mine but the bad guys must have really wanted my unit. I still have lock, but no camper. I have suggested to all who I meet to remove wheels from one side of camper. Apparently this is only thing that will stop some people. Never recovered.

I know some who have put down their jacks, extended their slides, and disconnected battery to discourage would-be thieves, but I have never heard of removing wheels. It's frustrating that honest people like yourselves have to deal with this! Sorry for your loss.

Where was it parked, at home or a storage lot?

Parked in business gravel lot, well lighted, near highway. East side of Dayton Ohio. There are mods that I can identify at 100 feet.

Hope you had insurance...When I bought mine the dealer was telling me about a 30' they had parked out front...had lock, chain, slides extended, battery removed....Thieves brought their own battery and took off with it...never recovered (and I live on an island!) he said some might end up as hunting lodges out in the bush so are never found....

They are all alike, they want your things.
