People turning off your water tap

[Swerve]

All,

Might be missing something , but twice in caravan parks my high pressure water tap has been turned off.

At Geraldton Bellair Gardens our tap was turned off during the day when we were out. Each slab had individual taps, not shared cluster so no need for anyone to visit.

So today at Kalbarri, our son showered about 9pm. We jumped in at 10pm and no water. My site has 4 taps and none shared , so either jokes being played or something ? Is this a common joke ?

First I have heard of it being done randomly (Not saying it doesn't happen though) but have heard of friends doing it to each other as a joke! Not that I know of anyone that has done it :barbershop_quartet_member:

Here at Kalbarri there is a walkway 1 m from the tap down to the tent section. I wouldn't put it past a tenter walking to ammenities to have some fun.

Now being next to a walkway it would not surprise me!

I'd say kids although did the people go next to you go? we had them turn off our tap and theirs on pack up before.

Hitching up to leave and some looser has stolen my shackles, which connected to my car. Arghhhh, bad taste in my mouth

I might have expected that at Geraldton but not Kalbarri!!!!

Turning off the tap might be considered as frivolous but actually nicking stuff needed for ongoing travel is a bit over the top.

Any others lose stuff...or were you the only lucky one?

Maybe my spares kit should include a spare shackle or two.

Have heard of the taps being turned off and ended being pranksters. On the other hand, have stayed in parks where reading the park guidelines they hand out, it is a request that water be turned off when ever not at campsite.

So it just might be a policed thing at that the park by staff.

Cheers Pace.

Only ever had people leaving turn my tap off, I have had some clumsy fools trip over hose or lead and pull them out, now I gaffa tape hose and lead to post, have had my power turned off a couple of times but I think done by folks leaving and they turned the wrong point off, DH ........................with power I've got into the habit of making sure gas is on to the fridge so if the mains drops off it will kick over to gas............

I have (or had) 2 shackles each side. These were tight and are not undone or touched when hitching up. So quite certain taken, crap happens so ah well

I hate "Tea Leaves", "Magpies" whatever you call them, I prefer "Thieving Low Life" myself (clean translation)................

I always take the shackles off and leave them in the glovebox/console of the car until i need them. Out of site, out of temptation is my thinking.

Does your tap end drip ?
Maybe some water saving hippy turned it off.

As for the shackles that is really poor form, I hope the bastard gets a blister every time he uses them.
