Something new to steal

This probably is more of an issue with seasonal campers. We were at our site last week and were told that 12, so far, had reported that their shore lines had been stolen. The thieves went straight for the 5th wheels first and couple of class A got hit as well. 50amp lines have more copper in them.

The end of my power cord has a molded in handle. When I secure my EMS with a cable I also run it through my power cord. Hopefully if they try to cut the cable they won't remember to turn off the circuit breaker.

That's funny! I guess you could also lock the breaker box door with a padlock so they couldn't access the breakers. Might make it more difficult for the thieves.

Sounds like the park isn't too secure.
