Midlands is theft hotspot say caravan insurer

Mon, 16 Jun 2008

Around 4000 caravans disappear every year in Britain and those in the midlands are going missing at a faster rate than anywhere else in the country, says a new study from AA Caravan Insurance .

The nearness of the midlands to the motorway network of the M6, M42 and the M1 could explain why ten per cent more of its caravans vanish than in other parts of the UK suggests Simon Douglas, head of AA Caravan Insurance. He added that thieves will find opportunities to steal from places where a vehicle is left unattended and is not secured, for example on a driveway before the owners are setting off on a trip or at a service station .

Mr Douglas said: "There is a real trend towards particular models being targeted and sometimes, several vans may disappear from one site. They are even craned out and on to a lorry for a quick getaway."
