A photo of your van camping last night (13 Viewers)

[A S R]

You seem a bit paranoid, why do you think that people want to know where you are? The Government know exactly where you are all the time unless you switch off your phone. Is someone after you? What did you do?

Do you not think criminals watch these sort of forums for vans they’d like to steal? If you or someone else constantly tells everyone where a particular van is it’s gonna go missing sooner or later. I don’t want that to be my van!
Motorhomes are regularly stolen to order so if they see one they want they’ll know exactly where it is!
So, I’ll go back to posting pictures AFTER I’ve left then. And just to annoy the wingers I’ll NOT put where it is!

Well it won't be where it is but where it was!

I know you feel upset because most people on this thread do not see the dangers that you do. But I started this thread, and the whole point of it was to discover lovely places to stay, so there really isn’t any point posting an image without the location.

Also, even though you’re upset, I think that it is rude to insult those of us (many of us) who clearly find value in that, by calling us whingers - implying we have no valid point to make and are merely carping at you.

So please do post the location - what’s the harm, if you’ve left it? And if you think that bad people are tracking your location and predicting your next stop to steal your van, then I respectfully suggest that this is not the thread for you.

Nicely put.

Well done for spelling whingers correctly Hope the trip is going well.

I really don’t care if others don’t see the danger of posting where they are / have been. If their vans get stolen / damaged etc that’s their problem not mine. The jump in insurance premiums is though. It doesn’t take a genius to plot the last few positions of ANY persons van stopovers and therefore easily predict where they’re likely to be in the next few days. More unlikely abroad yes, but I certainly don’t want my van targeted over here because I or someone else has posted where I am. If it’s a problem with me not saying where I am then fine, I’ll stop posting pictures. It really doesn’t bother me in the slightest.
I certainly don’t think it’s rude to highlight the fact that I DONT want my location given away. Again, if others do then that’s fine.

But when your away people can get your address from your number plate and break into your houseI would be more concerned about that than someone possibly following me around ready to steal my van that bye the way would be near on impossible with the alarm and tracker on it

See, now there’s real class! The spelling police! Nice.
Sorry for not getting every word correct. English ISN’T my first language/ native tongue! But don’t let that stop you!

Let's get the thread back on track.

If you are genuinely concerned about giving away your location, as opposed to simply being obstructive to forum members who politely ask where the photo was taken, I'd suggest you do as you say and don't post photos at all.

Reason being - I've not been to any of your last three locations, but it took less than 30 seconds for each to confirm their locations using Google reverse image search. Just saying .......

Our last night at Uphill Marina, as the sun set:

 

[Nanniemate]

Don't you just love rainy Sunday afternoons

 

[Just smiffy]

It’s a proven fact that your more likely to be a victim of crime from someone you know, so don’t tell your relatives what your doing…

Wow I’ve not heard of that, how does it work. Sounds very clever.

I agree, I try to avoid showing my number plate. I don’t always remember.

The less my relatives know the better
