Tent theft is it a thing?

My husband's mum had her empty tent stolen in 2015. We took it on the Weds and set it up so she could camp near us as she was arriving on the Thurs, and went out for the day. Came back to find it completely gone and other people pitched in the spot (don't think they were the guilty party). The girls behind us also had their tent stolen while they went back to the car for their second run.

So it does happen but I imagine it's really rare.

That sounds bad and also unlucky. Will make a call Tuesday

Theft from inside tents can happen (unfortunately), but other than for pranks I'm not sure theft of an entire tent would be that profitable a criminal enterprise? I imagine it's easier to resell stolen phones or cash or abuse stolen bank cards than it is to turn a whole tent (minus the pegs) into cash!

You'll all be fine 🙂

That's why I always fill the tent pockets with broken glass, poisonous spiders and dogshit.
