rv_burglar_breakinThe following story reinforces why RV burglar alarm security systems and common sense are so important when you go RVing. From the familybadge.org:

A 52-year-old man told officers he was asleep in his RV when he heard someone outside knocking on his front door.

He then felt the RV rocking back and forth and opened the side door to look outside whereupon a man grabbed it and pulled it open. The man was standing in front of the victim wearing a red t-shirt and a witch Halloween mask, pointing a black semi-automatic pistol at him.

The attacker demanded money and then hit the victim on the left side of his head with the pistol, breaking his hearing aid. The victim lunged at the suspect and began to struggle with him and managed to pull his mask off.

The robber was a black man, early 20’s, heavy set, between 5′09″ and 5′11″,wearing a red t-shirt, dark colored pants and a witch mask. Anyone with information is encouraged to call Crime Stoppers at: 409-945-8477.

So, enjoy your time on your RV vacations, be excited to full-time RV, get out there and be a RV buyer….just remember to be cautious and careful by using a wireless RV alarm and the brain that God gave you.
