BREAK IN! Vanlife Nightmare (van attacked with us INSIDE)

  • Not again!! Thieves try to break in to our van, whilst we are inside. Usually this would spook a criminal, but these guys did not care and would not stop. Before this happened we were enjoying a wonderful time in Greece. We spent some time in Meteora enjoying Greek history, wondrous nature and some bitter cold weather. Greece has been fantastic so far, and I know this unfortunate event is not a reflection of this country or it's people.
    In future we will be more vigilant and not arrive at park ups in the dark so we can make our own analysis of how dodgy a place feels.
    below is the park up link

    ⤈ WHO WE ARE ⤈
    We are Philly and Keely and we live full time in our tiny home on wheels Martha. After building our DIY home in a Citroen Relay camper we spent a year living on the streets of London before quitting our jobs only to be met with lockdown. Then we took our van further than she had ever been before to the very beautiful Turkey. Enroute we stopped off in Spain for a few weeks where we experienced every van lifers worst nightmare, we were robbed and they stole all valuables in our van. But now we are back on our feet, fully MOT’d and back on the road through Europe before we experienced another vanlife nightmare... our van caught fire! After the trauma of that we had a massive change of plan and have now made our way to Japan. We are starting a Japanese road trip and excited to bring you all along.

    Glad your both safe. The Greek people are so nice. There is a high probability that they were migrants trying to break into you van. I'm not trying to make a political statement or be unkind to any race. So I would say, try parking with a couple of other vans were possible for safety. Chat to the other people vans. Agree to look out for each other. Stay safe.

    • @phillyandkeely

      Good idea Drew. Yeah Greek people are soooo friendly ❤️ Based on the other park for night reviews I think your suspicion is correct in this case.

    We have been at this spot for over a week for about 1 month ago. We had no problem (we parked downstream, not above the refugee centrum). What did amaze me was that so many people leave their vans completely open and out of sight with all values out in the open...
    There is a certain person there, a shepherd that comes every single day, and sometimes during the night. He does this for many years already (Rust to roadtrip also had troubles with him). He is begging for money and he will try door handles like it is nothing...
    Normally there are always quite some vans around there but we were a few nights alone too but didn't have any problem.
    If I were you, I would go back, in the morning, enjoy the river. Park closeby (you can park within 2m or something) so you can have an eye out.

    • @phillyandkeely
      @phillyandkeely  Před rokem

      Yeah our friends had no problems at all when they were there last month. However we got a message on IG from someone else saying they went there yesterday and apparently someone was broken into the night after us, had their window smashed, and then last night someone had stuff stolen from van while they were in hotspring. So seems like someone is on a bit of a rampage these last few days. We would NEVER leave our van open even in sight 🤣🤣 the paranoia is real after bad experiences haha.

    Greece and Bulgaria seem to have issues with harassing campers. Maybe it depends on the area of the country. Their aggressiveness would be how violent drug addicts would act. My instinct would be to fight, but not wise to step out. You handled it perfectly.

Seriously the audacity for someone to try to break in knowing you were inside. I’m so glad you could get away. Healing from that will take time. You poor babies! 😢 (I feel like I’m your mum!) That was terrifying! (And here we’re making you relive it.) I hope you’re warm and safe wherever you are. Greece is a beautiful country with lovely people.

    A man i know here from Norway was in Spain last summer with a camper van. He wake up in the middle of the night from the sound of someone try to break in to his car. He is a big man and can take care of him self if he get in trouble normally so he do like you do and tell them to go away. They dont bother him inside the camper van and keep trying to get the door open. Outside it was 2 men and they both had iron bars in their hands When they get the door open they attack him with the iron bars to he be unconscious. He wake up on hospital 3 weeks later after been in coma since the attack. Half his face was smashed in, his jaw was broken, his teeth were knocked out, a hole in his head, a broken arm, broken ribs +++. It is not easy to defend yourselves against such people and when they know there is people in the van and they have with them iron bars, they dont botter if they hurt anyone. You two was very lucky it go so well and dont be hurt. Hope you never have to experience this again

    Greek history is just incredible to think the monks built these mind blowing monasteries what a death defying feat of will power, strength & tenacity!! Chinese & Greece culture & recorded history goes back to 1500BC apparently ~ "The history of Greece can be traced back to Stone Age hunters. Later came early farmers and the Minoan and Mycenaean civilizations. This was followed by a period of wars and invasions, known as the Middle Ages. Around 1100 BC, the people of the Dorians invaded from the north and spread along the west coast".
    Love that you are both willing to climb & explore plus the drone footage was priceless, so emotive it would bring tears to your eyes!!
    I still can not believe that people would have to pure audacity to try to break in while you are inside, omg that was so scary & thank goodness the Van was safely parked for quick getaway! Take care gorgeous couple! 💜💙

    Overnight in Van with no dog, you need several dogs barking together on autoplay recording or one big snarly Lion roar cat. Then have international sticker placed on van, "Beware of dogs". Outside Spot lights help yes, but something loud to scare attackers away. I Feel for you both,, being alone in a strange land. I won't spend time (my travel history)as a tourist hitchhiking through Greece, and no support from the local authorities. Keep yourselves safe.
    Vote YES for more drone views, but having Keely laugh in background, even at the end. Also, Look up what Greek island, has a Cat Sanctuary, with quite of controversial history who owns the land etc. and the many cats to be adopted. Great vlog 👍 🐕‍🦺🐾🙀💖

    The first time I did travel years ago, I had two medium size dogs, once whilst looking out the window, a man seemed to be coming straight for my van...my two dogs barked ferociously and he darted away. But it still left me shook. Now I am beginning another long adventure in a Toyota Sienna with no dogs (They passed during covid)and I have to say it is a different kind of travel. I have a walking stick that has a taser on the end and I periodically practice. It is right next to me for quick access. The FIRST action will be to drive away. Your action was the best choice. Also, such amazing footage you shared with us. Really enjoyed that.
