   I keep our trailer stored in the corner of a fenced in gated storage area next to a HUGE boat. Unfortunately, vegetation has grown up making it partly concealed, so of course someone broke into the boat and in passing, browsed thru our trailer. He got from us:
A badly worn r-dome (without any poles)
A nice 10X12 tarp I use as an awning
11 nice forged tent stakes

He wasn't a vandal, except for damage incidental to perusing our property, he did no further damage. In the excitement (it was dark), the poor wretch left behind in a pillow case several flashlights and a weather radio. We had recently removed our battery, propane tanks and a tool bag filled with lots of goodies while our trailer was in the shop getting axle repair work done, otherwise at least the tools would have been gone, too.

I am mentioning this because it's an object lesson - 'Stuff' happens

Keep your trailer in a well lit area
Keep tools and other valuables out of the trailer when stored.

	Glad we keep our Pod at home in a side yard. Lot's a room and no HOA rules out here in Nowhere, NV.

	Greetings: I have 6 security cameras around my house, which also cover the Pod. I have dual tanks with a cable securing them to the frame and a chain around the battery. This has worked for 9 years. Crankster78 R-179
