John, after seeing a few films, I believe they fight you for the caravan and they just take your landy. serious note, from what we are told from the police, the problem is that wide spread they can't cope, these folk are pros at this game.
To give you an idea, we had two cable drums stolen and the police were conducting a "stake out" at the time, as I say these guys are not all travellers, mostly chancers feeding off other good folks belongings.
