All - was talking to friend and he mentioned lots of thefts of stuff while camping in Thousand Trails Orlando park. We have not experienced this, but mostly do not leave anything out. We keep bay's locked all the time, and always use both locks on doors even walking around park. As a rule, I always set the "night latch"- (used term as kid) when inside. Have any of you experienced this issue.
Questions and I think because I believe some of the below, that could be the reason, however?
1. Is it the caliber of RV'ers has gone down and more less desirable folks now are camping?
2. Is the economy (covid) causing more people to steal?
3. Does it/has it happened more in densely populated areas?
4. Do you camp out or close to cities, in densely packed campgrounds or spaced out parks like Corp of Engineers ones?
5. Weekends or weekdays or it don't matter?
What steps to take to prevent this aside from oblivious ones.
