We were camping at Roosevelt Lake east of Phoenix in early October. Lots of folks leave for the day to go boating and the CG is often fairly deserted during the day. While we were out on the lake a couple of low lifes cruised through the CG in a pickup truck with one guy driving slowly while his buddy wandered through the sites grabbing anything that was not nailed down.
The stolen goods were quickly tossed into the back of the truck and they were gone in about 20 minutes. A couple of people saw them and reported it but by the time the Rangers/sherriffs arrived they were long gone.
Mostly they got generators, BBQ's, propane cylinder, any electronics that were left un protected. Fishing gear and an assortment of tools also disappeared. They must have had quite a haul by the time they fled.
No RV's were broken into as there was plenty of snatch and grab items available. Your best protection is keep everything of value secured and out of sight.
Sometimes bad stuff happens but the folks who left items of value just sitting out in plain sight were seriously enabling these bozos and I doubt it was their first time.
