Somebody got into my Westy after I had come back from a long weekend at
Padre Island (near Mexico on the Gulf of) and it was because I forgot to
lock the rear hatch.
I carry a suitcase with clothes in it rather than stuffing them various
compartments.
I found the suitcase and all my dirty clothes laying in the driveway the
next morning.
Nothing else missing or damaged ................ since the peculated in
that black suitcase in the Texas 100 + sun for a few days, I'm sure
opening that suitcase gave them quite a thrill.
