We have had an attempted break-in. They opened both basement side doors - not sure if they saw the trap door or not, but did not use it. Nothing in the basement. Went to the roof and tried to get in through the vent over the bed, only damage was the rubber roof was torn - a big tear. Did not get into our 5er, but did get into my brothers trailer and got all of his fishing gear. Another trailer setting next to his was broken into and it was lived in for a few nights as there was a fire bult on the floor. The owner had lots of missing items. Insurance took care of everything on my 5er. Police came and told us that it would not matter what we do that if a theif wanted to get in he or she could with little effort. We do take a few steps to slow someone down but nothing will prevent them from getting in if they wanted to. I now do not use that storage area as they did not carry any type of insruance to help with fixing things. I was told that storage ares do not carry any type of insurance. Have not checked with other storage places to see if this is true or not. I now store it at a friends in the country next to his big shop and his "big" dog. It works.
Oh by the way, I, too have used the trap door when wife left with her keys and mine are in the 5er. Don't ask, that is another story.
