We definitely have a huge societal issue with theft. They report here as the weather and like it is no big deal, better than an armed robbery so just let them do it. Maybe not quite that bad but that is the way it comes across, certainly no outrage or shock. Last year enclosed trailers was the hot item to steal and no one was caught and a significant number, some loaded with crafts and so on were stolen. Police said they probably were in Mexico by the time most were reported so again just a hazard you take unless you have it secured.
In this area the Churches and non profits were hit very hard with their busses and vans being easy targets. We seem to have the second wave going on now and it is barely if at all mentioned in the news unless they hit a parking lot full.
I have never locked my hitches or bars or anything but that is changing now. Insurance it going to sky rocket with all the theft and damage going on and you will probably wind up going to a high deductible in the very near future.
Many areas are activating neighborhood watches and perhaps the same deal will wind up in camp grounds that don't have gates and cameras.
Lets hope we can get ahead of this deal and get back to a bit more normal which in this case is not wondering what day they are going to steel your catalytic converter.
Given the CV it appears many will be side lined a bit. We are heading out but going to places that are "self served" for the most part. Fall and early winter are our favorite times to get away for many reasons.
