Caravan owners should make sure that their mobile home is fully covered in the event of theft or any other stroke of bad luck.
The case for doing so was once again highlighted last week when a £15,000 caravan was stolen from a home in Long Hanborough.
According to the Witney Gazette, the Swift Challenger 540 was taken from a driveway on Witney Road at 12:55 GMT last Tuesday (November 2nd).
Police are seeking information regarding the crime, which has been linked to a dark blue Vauxhall Zafira.
“This vehicle was seen in the vicinity at the time of the theft and was last seen heading along the Witney Road, towards Witney,” PC Laura Pagan told the newspaper.
She asked anyone who can provide information to come forward while it is still fresh in their mind.
The policewoman added that this could be anything from a sighting of the caravan being towed to being offered the chance to buy the mobile home.
In other news, X Factor contestant Cher Lloyd has revealed that she was brought up in a caravan by her parents who are descendants of Romany gypsies.
