I hope nobody on here has their caravan stored at the yard near Oldham that’s on fire yesterday. Wonder what the cause was.

I never knew it was members only, sorry. I just saw the link and copied it. I never join anything either

It's most likely my fault as I have my Laptop set to avoid as many 'targeted adverts' as possible, and it ended up asking me for permission to 'personalise' the adverts to send me.

The BBC is advert free.

The story looks horrific to anyone with a caravan there.
I see motorcaravans in the picture, and they are not cheap!! FL2 XS SD4 Auto 2010 2012-2017 (21k - 91k miles) (MY2011)

On the subject of caravan storage, where we keep our van in Redhill which has great security or so we thought, like drop down barrier to enter site using key card and storage area has high fence with barbed wire and combination lock to enter compound all with CCTV and wardens live on site. Yet about 2 years ago we had a phone call to come and check our van after a break in. Travellers had crossed the farmers field adjacent and made a temporary bridge across quite a wide deep ditch between the compound fence and field. I think it was 6 outfits stolen in total 2 caravans and 4 motor homes, one of which I believe was never recovered. They also damaged quite a few caravans and motorhomes forcing entry to steal items from them. Thankfully ours was untouched, possibly because it had a cover strapped over it.

I believe there were some arrest made after some the outfits were seen on the M25 and M23 which are both very close to the site. 2007 TD4 XS The work horse that earns its up keep
