Would parking next to that guy selling stuff out of his van at Cuvier be fairly safe.That is unless he's selling stuff he's knicked out of cars that parked next to him.

if the main carpark at cuvier is busy(it will be on a saturday) its likely to be safer than leaving your car at one of the more wooded areas.

As I said a few posts ago. Park right next to the snack van. On the East side of the road. The one on the west side is a lot more dodgy.

Wot snack van  :shrug:

It's a mobile GU clinic

If that's the case, SAChris has a very particular taste in snacks  :-\

Wallet, passport, tickets and keys zipped (or velcro'ed) up in your crashpad, travel light in bouldering areas and move your stuff around with you (or leave it next to the recovering hungover/ injured / lazy  person in your group).

If you have a car full of stuff and it's the weekend either go somewhere busy where there are likely to be people (not thieving types) around coming and going all day ie.  Apremont, Sabots, Cuvier..  Or go somewhere really off the beaten track that thieves aren't likely to know about.  Whilst the busier spots will be perfectly safe in the day time, don't stay at the crag too late, you may return to an empty car park and a smashed window, there maybe people waiting around later in the day for an opportunity or more likely a crew that scans round all the main carparks looking for an opportunity.
