Arrived home to discover someone has stolen our camper trailer >:( :-[
If you're in SA please keen an eye out for it.
Reported to :police: and insurance tomorrow. As aways though, the insurance will not cover everything / mods etc.
The trailer was stolen from the front yard of our home which is on a main road and has a police station on the same road! Brazen thieves! It had a trailer lock on the hitch and the chains were locked to so not able to be used. I can only assume they bought cutting equipment.

All the best Greg

Sorry to hear that Shrek i was about 2mins away from the same fate last oct only i woke to a noise and disturbed them.
Camper had been spun around on front yard and dragged to kerb and they were about to hook up when disturbed.

That's painful mate

Well doesn't that just give you the $hits! All that time, effort, money ... and some scumbag thinks he can just take it ... >:( May Karma reek havoc in the scumbags life.
I hope, for your sake, that who ever knicked it is really stupid, and tries to sell it to a MySwag member. Wishing you luck with the recovery.

Low life, scum, mongrel bastards. >:(
Good luck mate.
:cheers: sol

Thanks guys :cheers:
The bit that hurts is all the stuff that has been put together over time, the travel porta-cot, kitchen etc, camp chairs etc.
Not to mention the time spent working on the mods.
The bit that makes me angry (at myself) is that I've a functioning, GPS tracker purchased for the CT sitting in the study that I hadn't made the effort to install.
There is no way we'll get everything put into it back from insurance, we'd be at least $4-5k out of pocket.
Tis a hard lesson to swallow!

Bloody Mongrels.

Cheers

Sorry to hear that mate. It sure is a horrible feeling when some low life helps themselves to your hard earned belongings! As mentioned earlier karma will come and bite them! Its only a matter of time.
-
Pr!cks! Will keep an eye out... what area was it taken from? I hope you can recover it!
-
that sucks.... I'd call insurance now

We are not in your area but is there anything that can not be seen in your photo that is distinctive to your trailer that members could keep an eye out for if they happen to look at any second hand around there might help them recognise it for you. Good luck

As far as markings, possibly the most noticeable would be in the tailgate. Here there are 5 holes that have been filled with clear silicon where the factory option kitchen would have been installed, however bolts were used to install the Drifta Kitchen (which we only got to use twice). Also the handle that winds the jockey wheel up / down is bent. Other than that she's reasonably vanilla.

Do we have a make model it would make it a lot easier to spot in the for sale? We are a long way away in CQ but who knows these days where the mongrels will appear.
Will keep an eye out just in case

i hope there is no insurance problems, will certainly keep an eye out, but would guess it is tucked up in shed and not out on the road somewhere
-
writting down the details and will stick it to my sun visor in my van.
Keeping my eyes peeled in the Vic area!
Sorry to hear some scumbags thought they needed your stuff more than you.
Nothing worse than that been on your side of the fence a few times now.
Crossing fingers it is found.

Sorry to hear this but if you care to publish the VIN and any other specific data maybe the scumbags may try to run it through some of the repair places wanting cosmetic changes to aid in hiding the fact that its STOLEN???
Good Luck

So sorry mate. The bloody scum who have probably never worked a day in there lives just have a belief that they can help them selves to any one that has worked to get what they enjoy. I hope it turns up for you. :cheers:

Sorry to hear about your loss Shrek.
Had a case recently, 4 month old Jayco Expanda stolen from the suburb where I work.
A bloke who owns a caravan himself, saw the crooks vehicle towing it. It wasn't hooked up properly, chains not secured, lights not plugged in and 4x4 towing a road going van.
Having towed vans himself he thought this can't be right, noted the vehicle rego and immediately contacted Crimestoppers.
We eventually tracked the van down to the crooks stepfathers address after full denials.
Moral of the story. Even the smallest little things that the public notice can help piece a puzzle together and bring these scum to justice. If you see something that ain't right, call Crimestoppers. Whats the worst that can happen, some copper rings you and asks for a bit more info.
Good luck and I hope you get your camper back.

Thanks again everyone for your thoughts and for keeping an eye out. :cheers:

Any news about your camper mate.
:cheers: sol

Afraid not! I did get a little hopeful when the police called me the other day. But alas, it was only an officer telling me they had the report and the CT is listed as stolen l their database.
I'm not holding out!

Shreck4 Bad news , l hope the Karme buss is warmed up & ready to roll on . With Swaggers everywhere always chatting to other CT users it may still turn up . Though it might be another color be now on the out sside at least . Keep that in mind when looking . The holes in the tailgate cant really be changed CT . Good luck with your new CT :cheers:
