if you mean the main car park outside then no way would i leave anything of value there, stuff goes missing every year!!

not much security, but you do have to pass through the gates with your ticket before you get to the car park so it shouldnt be anyone off the street, just your fellow RS owners.....

Santa pod security are pikeys.... lol

Basically from previous years- a local scout group and the security themselves park the cars.

SP pikey security then patrol the site regularly.

I call them pikeys in the sense they're clearly hard as nails and do not give the slightest shit RE trouble makers.....

As part of the group who organised the last 4 or 5 shows- thats the first I heard of stuff going missing at central day..............


Having said that I do know stuff has gone at the pod.

Quite a few evos went missing last year from a couple of Jap shows @ SP - just got to be on your guard everywhere thesedays, as the thefts seem to be well organised from car shows.

If stuff went missing- unless it was from some strange people who know no other people and dont know what the internet is....

It would have been posted on here and "we" would have heard about it...

Also if it was a significant problem I can tell you this as FACT the central group would employ extra security.

This was going to be the first proper outing for my cossie but im not leaving it in the field all day so gonna go up in the daily smoker.

As has been said before there is thieves at all shows now as they know what will be there and how to get it.
