We came through Arizona and New Mexico just a few days after the prison break, and stopped a campgrounds long the way. We had just returned from Vancouver Island, where the two elderly Canadians has apparently also been murdered.
These two incidents highlighted a few things about RVers and criminals.
What do those on the run need?
1. Food
2. Clothing
3. Money
4. Vehicle
What do RVers have readily available?
1. Food
2. Clothing
3. Money (in varying amounts, or credit cards)
4. Vehicle (TOAD, tow vehicle, whatever)
RVers are extremely vulnerable. Many are older, and could offer little resistance to determined and possibly armed criminals.
Many RVers pull into a rest stop for a quick nap, a lunch break, etc. Even at an RV park, they are still not safe. At the first park where we over-nighted, I looked around at my surroundings and realized just how unprotected we were.
The key, or at least a method to lessen risk, is for us all to be very aware of our surroundings. From what I have heard about the Oklahoma couple, both were armed; however, the criminals first took the wife who was walking the dog, then forced the husband to surrender. They then killed them both.
BE CAREFUL OUT THERE!
