Midlands revealed as "caravan Bermuda Triangle"

More caravans disappear in the Midlands than in any other part of the UK, according to new data.Research by AA Caravan Insurance indicates that owners in the "caravan Bermuda Triangle", a region bordered by Leicester, Coventry, Birmingham and Nottingham, face a ten per cent higher risk of theft.Simon Douglas, head of AA Caravan Insurance, said: "These disappearances are well thought out criminal plans with real rewards. "Caravanning is increasing in popularity and we're seeing more caravans being stolen to order, especially larger, luxury twin-axle models. Three-quarters of those stolen disappear without trace and are never recovered."The firm claims that 4,000 caravans disappear on an annual basis, with thieves becoming more organised in their attempts to steal high-value models.AA Caravan Insurance claims that owners can reduce the risk of their vehicle being stolen by taking simple security precautions such as wheel clamps, chassis locks and electronic tagging.
