Police in Norfolk have warned caravan owners to make sure their tourers are well secured following the theft of a vehicle from the quiet village of Wiggenhall St Germans.
Thieves took a five-berth Avondale Argos Pearl tourer from outside its owner’s home on Thursday morning, according to a report in Lynn News.
Unfortunately for the victim, they had left the vehicle’s original purchase documents inside, meaning the crooks who stole the tourer will look legitimate when they try to sell it on to unsuspecting buyers.
Authorities have urged caravanners to make sure they store their paperwork in a safe place away from the vehicle and suggest that everyone registers their tourer with the Caravan Registration and Identification Scheme.
The theft also highlights the importance of taking out a good caravan insurance policy. A recent study by Club Care Insurance revealed that just one per cent of all claims it receives would be covered by a person’s standard home insurance.
