RV FEATURE cards in most places. I was even thinking I would be able to put what we didn’ t spend on the credit card when I got home. We spent $ 1000 in diesel just to get to Esperance,” Louise said.
Police believe that it was a drug-related crime – thieves looking for a quick buck.
“ They managed to recover some of Adam’ s cards,” Louise said.“ They found them on a vacant house block and in a nearby drain. None of mine have shown up yet – I have no ID and no bank cards.”
Adam and Louise had saved for a year in order to take their trip.“ It was also our longest trip as it’ s the first time we have had this much leave from work at the same time,” she said.“ Otherwise it’ s long weekends, Christmas and Easter. We even have a camping group on Facebook called‘ Aldi Adventurers’, because every time someone bought some new gear we would ask them where they got it … and the answer was usually Aldi!”
The Storeys have experienced many acts of kindness since the invasion and theft, but one really stood out to Louise. Upon visiting Esperance Stonehenge – a full-size replica of the mysterious attraction in the United Kingdom – the owner refunded their entrance fee after learning of their ordeal.“ She also insisted I take a handbag from her shop as I didn’ t have one. I told her that I didn’ t have anything to put in it anymore but she insisted. It’ s people like her that will make our memories of Esperance good ones.”
