Opportunistic thieves have left a caravanner “devastated” after they stole his unit – just before he was about to embark on his first caravanning break, this is Litchfield reports.
Phil Moore, 42, had already begun preparing the van when it was taken from outside his home, near the A38 at Alrewas, earlier this month.
Police are appealing for witnesses who may have seen thieves making off with the 14-year-old Abi Jubilee Courier, which sleeps four-to-six people.
“My parents gave me the money to buy the caravan as a treat for me and the kids,” Mr Moore told the news provider.
“We have not stayed in a caravan before and both myself and my children are absolutely devastated.”
The news highlights the need for caravan owners to take out adequate insurance on their vehicles.
Last month, Confused.com decided to launch a tool allowing touring and static caravan owners to compare cover for their holiday homes online .
