Theft at a State park.......

[traildog]

Who in the world would want someone else's SEWER HOSE?

Woke up yesterday morning at Chain-O-lakes state park in northern Indiana (park was full) and walked around to the rear of the RV.

Bumper plug on the ground and stinky slinky GONE.......

I carry a couple in the bumper and the other one was still there......

Stupid is all I can think to say........

Perhaps the government should reimburse everyone for the purchase of a sewer hose? They seem to want to reimburse folks for everything else.

I really can’t figure out why someone would take the chance or risk of being injured or death by stealing junk, such as sewer hoses, grills, or bicycles, etc. Nowadays, people with legal permits have protection and have motion cameras on their RVs. I guess thieves think their lives are worth less than the junk or their IQ is below 100, take your pick. We’ve been lucky; the only living creatures messing around on our camp sites at odd hours are squirrels, raccoons, and grazing deer.

Some people will steal anything. We had a year old, ragged out, on it's last legs CHEAP Wal-Mart gas grill stolen off the back of our Class C while it was in a parking lot. It was stolen, because I had checked all the straps on the hitchhaul on the Class C and the grill was still strapped in. We had stopped in to look at a replacement grill. They didn't have any of the cheap ones, but they did have more expensive. We decided that must have been the reason ours was stolen. We simply headed to the town we were staying at and bought one from that local Wal-Mart once they got them back in stock. There was an RV in the parking lot a few spaces away when we walked into the store, but it was pulling out of the parking lot when we came out. I had to retighten the ratchet straps on my hitchhaul.

If something is "borrowed" without prior permission, it's been stolen. Doesn't matter how expensive or how cheap.

I get the point for sure, but what would be worse...if they just borrowed it, and return it, when they are finished with it.

It's a whole lot of hubbub over a dump hose.

Slow news day.

Can't call them a thief, if just appropriating? The OP still has one left, so this may be a case of paying it forward, to the person in need?

Ya, a disgusting theft, but don't let it interfere with your enjoyment!

Maybe its not theft, and not appropriating, but asset reallocation?

I will say, just when I think I've heard it all, something happens to change that. Can't say I would EVER expect to heart about an RVer having the stinky slinky absconded, stolen, appropriated or reallocated, whichever term is most palatable.

Stolen fits perfectly, which is exactly what happened.

Wow....

In our travels we have passed a few on the side of the road, which was probably a surprise to the owner when they went to get it.

I'm guessing the bumper plug laying on the ground ruled out lost on the highway...

BINGO!
