I live about 5 minutes away from the site. If you are camping in a tent i would strongly suggest you put padlocks on tent. There is always a high traveller presence. The temp traveller site is further away from the main site but there are usually thefts from tents/caravans during the show.

So what are you trying to say, that all the thefts from these tents are made by travellers ? and what good would a padlock on a tent do, i don't think it would stop some little scrote with a stanley knife.

Im not saying that at all. A big slice isn't exactly suttle. The security staff are alot more alert now. A few years ago there was a spate of caravan thefts from the site so now every vehicle has its VIN number taken as well as the caravans VIN and if the two dont match you dont leave the site.
