Yesterday when we got off the ferry out Bilboa, we drove out of the ferry terminal and turned right were there is a fuel station a few hundred yards away that also has a number of lorry's fueling up, there is also pumps for cars.
I got out and went to the nearside to fill up, whilst doing this a guy opened the habitation door on the offside and entered our motorhome, lucky for me my wife was in it and said to him what are you doing, he got out and closed the habitation door behind him, lucky there was nothing nearby for him to grab. She thought perhaps he was a worker at the garage.
My wife pointed him out when I got back in, he had doubled back and had climbed on top of the bed of an artic truck that was parked up, there was two of them, they kept peeping out and my wife was trying to get a clear photo of them, but to no avail.
I tried to explain to the garage what had just happened, but I couldn't speak Spanish and unfortunately they couldn't speak English and there was no police in sight.
We left to goto the Carrefour, unfortunately I had left my refillable gas cap, so we had to return probably 50 minutes later, there was no sign of them. It is obvious they must come when they know the ferry has arrived and wait down there as opportunitist's and because we're were parked at near the front on deck 5 we were one of the last to get off.
I hope they never managed to steal anything from earlier motorhomes who may have fueled up there before us. Lesson learnt, from now on, when I leave the vehicle always to fuel up, make sure I lock the doors.
