Trailer was broken in to...
Got back from a nice relaxing time in the Caribbean to find that my 5th wheel was broken in to. They tried to break in to the door but the dead bolt was locked. They broke the handle lock however trying to get in. So they decided to go to the back passenger window and break in. They smashed the window up and frame, ripped down the day and night shades. I had the batteries disconnected so they couldn't open the slides. Because they couldn't open the slides they figured that to get in to the cabinets in the island they would kick in the back side of them. All I had in there was some plastic utensils and some plates. They then rummaged through everything throwing everything out of the cabinets everywhere and stealing my DVD player, 1m candle power flashlight and a little light that goes on your head. I figured they got about $60 worth of stuff and it's going to cost me about $600- 700 to fix. To top it all off they relieved them self in the tub  Can you believe that?
So anyway.. question is what are you guys doing for security for your trailers?
Mine was behind and chain link fence with barbwire. I was thinking about putting some sort of alarm that had a shock and a motion detector inside. I called a place here in town (SLC UT,) and they said they could hook it up fairly easy. Also hook it up to the external lights to draw some attention or make the break in look more serious from the out side. The alarm will do no good if there is no one around to see or hear it but it might be enough to scare off the intruder. What do you think? Waste of money or go for it.
