Anyone interested in buying caravans for sale in Wales, and those who are already lucky enough to own such properties, may be interested in security advice that has been issued by a police force.
Lincolnshire Police noted that static caravans are proving very popular. Indeed, there is considerable interest in such holiday homes for sale. The force stated: “If you own a caravan on the coast, or are considering purchasing one, there are some important security questions to consider and a few tips you should follow in order to make the day to day security of your pride and joy as effective as possible.”

According to Lincolnshire Police, it is a good idea for owners to remove all valuable items from caravans when they are planning to leave them unoccupied for long periods of time. It suggested that this reduces the opportunities for thieves.
The force added: “It is better to leave curtains open so criminals can clearly see that there are no valuables to steal.”
