CARAVAN SECURITY ADVICE

Caravan Security Advice For Owners and Site Managers

As the season draws to a close, Market Harborough Neighbourhood Watch would like to offer some basic security advice to owners and site managers to keep your caravan safe over the winter months.

Make it difficult for the would-be criminal

Secure all windows and doors with good quality locks

If out for the evening, draw the curtains and leave lights and a radio on.

Make use of time switches

Postcode all your property with an ultra violet marking pen

If you are returning home before the end of the holiday season, take your valuables home with you

Don’t leave valuables in your car where they can be seen – lock them away in the boot

Fit a caravan alarm

Fit a caravan safe if necessary

At the end of the season – REMOVE ALL VALUABLES

Security marking pens are available free of charge from all local Police Stations, or by contacting 0116 248 3871

In the winter

LEAVE CURTAINS DRAWN BACK

LEAVE CUPBOARDS AND DRAWERS OPEN

DISPLAY A ‘VALUABLES REMOVED’ NOTICE IN THE WINDOW -available from Market Harborough Neighbourhood Watch.

Make your site more secure

By being a good neighbour and keeping an eye out for anything suspicious, you can help make your site more secure.

Things which should be reported to the Park Operator or the Police

Strangers peering through caravan windows, loitering suspiciously around unoccupied caravans

Strangers hanging around play areas and approaching children

Strangers trying car doors

Anything that you believe to be suspicious – no matter how trivial it may seem
