| Sadly my campervan WX54MGE was stolen from outside my house in Bexley last night. It's a long shot but if anyone spots it or receives any info I would be very grateful.
Cheers

| I suggest that you post a photo and description on the brazilianvwbay page on Facebook and ask for it to be shared. It will reach a wider audience like that. | |

| I have no personal knowledge of this facebook site, but may be worth a try. As Voyager says, the more eyes the better.

Hi All Thanks so much for your concern & help. I found my van dumped in the neighbourhood. Some damage inside & out but hoping to get all fixed up. Now it's time to look for safe storage. BH | |

| Good news. Glad you have it back.
Did they have the keys?
Did you have any supplemental security fitted?
Just interested to know how they took it. Might help us protect ours against the same type of theft.
Cheers.

I’m not sure disclosing that information is wise. There are lots of security measures documented on the forum that owners can put into place. | |

| I disagree surely it would be better to pass on information about security devices that have failed. | |
