The ONLY boondocking in Colorado is in Walmart parking lots, and I'd lock up everything there, including the family.

The easiest way to find the local thief, if one exists, is to buy two cheap rod and reals ($10pr will do), install a $.10 lure on each one, then lean the rods up against the RV in plain sight on the road side of the RV.

If the rods are gone when you return, then you have a thief in the area and need to lock up tight before leaving. Just think it only cost you $10 to find out, a cheap investment.

In 40yrs of boondocking, I've never lost anything, and I leave my camp all the time.

Well of course there's no boondocking in Colorado. Or Utah, NM, WYO, MT, ID, AZ, etc. But when I boondock in Ohio, I just use common sense and put the expensive stuff inside. We've left camping chairs, grey water bucket, etc out w/ no problems so far.

Because of the uniqueness of the Chalets, I've had people come into camp to look at the trailer, but nothing's been taken yet.
