……from the Devon Campervans Conversions Owners Group on Facebook:-
‘Just to alert people - we had an attempt to steal our Aztec recently. Late at night they cut a hand-sized hole in our bonnet apparently to try to access and disable the alarm, using an oxy-accetaline torch which burnt the black surround for the air intake as well. The alarm was ok and they were spotted by a neighbour who frightened them off it seems.
We are having it repaired under our insurance but are taking more security precautions - a security camera on the house, a wheel clamp etc.
Our repairer said he’d never seen that tried previously - it does suggest a good knowledge of the layout of the vehicle - a Peugeot Boxer.’
