I saw this on another RV forum. IF it is true, everyone needs to be aware so you can protect yourself and your loved ones. Another person commented in the thread that this had happened to them. Be aware...
Warning! !! Stopped at rest area around Columbus Ohio and while my wife and daughter took a walk 5 guys saying they were drivers tried to get me out of the rv saying they had something I had to see. I was sandwiched in between semi's . I locked the door but then made a run for it when they weren't looking to get to my wife and daughter so they didn't walk back to the rv. Sure enough once I alerted the staff they ran to an suv on the end and took off. Last week another rv'er was robbed and stabbed with a screwdriver last week there! Please be alert and careful if someone tries to get you out of your rig. Don't think I can ever rest at a rest area again!

The same thing happened to us at the rest stop/welcome centre has you come into Florida at 3pm...I was in our vehicle....Hubz went to check our TT...two guys approached him and said there was something he should see...Hubz said lead the way. Instead of following them he jumped in our vehicle and we drove off. I looked back and there were 6 men standing behind our trailer. We radio the sherif on our CB radio. Don't know if they caught them. I am thinking they didn't. We never stop at a rest stop anymore. (I-75 South)
