“THE INVASION OCCURRED WHILE THE
VAN'S OWNERS SLEPT INSIDE.”
A Melbourne couple have issued a warning to all
RVers to check their caravan’s contents insurance
policy, following a devastating caravan invasion
in early August.
About $9000 worth of property was stolen in the
invasion, which was made all the more terrifying
by the fact it occurred while its owners slept
inside.
Melbourne residents Adam and Louise Storey
had been in Esperance, WA, for a week, and were
staying in a caravan park as part of a four-week
trip when a thief or thieves entered their van in
the very early hours.
“We arrived in Esperance after a year of planning,”
Louise told GoRV. “While my husband was super
excited to drive the Nullarbor, I was super excited
about Esperance.
“After a week of sightseeing and fitting in as
many things as we could, we decided to go to the
movies on a Friday night. After an early dinner,
we went out and arrived home pretty early and
we were in bed by 10.30pm. We locked up and
hit the hay.
“Around 1.30am, Adam checked the time on
his phone and went to the loo. He came back,
jumped into bed, and he woke up close to 5am.
When he awoke, he reached out to check the
time and his phone was not where he left it. He
got up and discovered a number of other items
missing. He can’t remember if he locked the
door when he returned from the toilet or not as
he was still half asleep.”
