My Chausson Motorhome has just been stolen

Car break ins and thefts and even motorhome thefts are not a police priority and rightly or wrongly it is up to owners to look after their vehicles and contents. If they suffer a theft then they claim on their insurance.

The Police Federation has made no bones about "Cuts have Consequences". They do. If you don't like it write to your MP.

Many other public services face the same chronic underfunding I'm sure....

The police prioritise now vulnerable people and that takes up most of their time because there is a never ending stream of calls on these issues.

Most Police & Crime commisioners publish their priorities, here's an example.....

Sorry if none of that is what you wanted to hear CY, but that's the reality of the situation. It's a very cruel world away from the cosy confines of a CC site.......

David, sorry for your upset, it leaves you sick, it is a distressing time and I wish you well. 

Use your insurance company they are usually very good with total loss and should give you a good outcome, small comfort but try to get some positives. 

Tintent, your post is harsh but unfortunately shockingly true. I phoned the police this year after witnessing theft from a vehicle, my vehicle, they told me they may have responded if they had go the call at the time of the theft. It took 15 minutes to get through to them. 

A number of years ago after witnessing another car theft when the culprits were caught I testified in court. The driver who was prosecuted for being 4x drunk driving limit (twice previously banned) and having 23 other convictions for car theft got 100 hours community service. Are you surprised the police don't pursue vehicle theft.

I feel for you David. 

Ford based motorhomes are being stolen to such an extent that some insurers are insisting on Trackers being fitted. But for any of us feeling smug in our Fiat based motorhomes, my son showed me how, with the right gear bought off Amazon, he can steal my alarmed motorhome within two minutes. If you have central locking, it may be quicker than that. Fortunately, my son is a law abiding citizen.

mmmmm. he knew where to buy and how to use the "right gear" from amazon and then showed you how to use it. that's 2 more suspects about. haha.  

Come on, David G, give us an update. It’s only fair.
