Hi there, I was wondering whether there were lights at night at the Pimpama boat ramp and what was the theft like there if I left my car and trailer there until midnight?

Insurance will be a must....................
And a backup trailer and tow vehicle too probably..................

Thanks Chimo.Quote:

Just make sure there is noting loose that can be seen in the car, no clothes, bags, etc that might look worth stealing. Use a padlock to chain the trailer to your car. There are theives around all ramps, but if you convince them that other cars or trailers are an easier target, you will be ok.
The shortcut is almost not passable at low tide. try it in daylight first. The whole north arm of coomera is tricky in the dark, but OK once you know it. If you are keen on fishing Pimpama at night, then use the Pimpama ramp. If you are not comfortable with this ramp being isolated, then use Jacobs Well or Paradise Point, not Foxwell rd.
Thanks for the info Gecko. You sound a bit more optomistic. My car and trailer has all the locks possible and i may even get a flashing red dash light connected to a hidden kill switch. that makes it hard to steal the car. I might get some more solid padlocks for the chains. I also have the other lock already for the ball. It all makes it harder for them. As long as there are lights at Pimpama ramp I will give it a go.
@ Bonus.
If you launch from Jacobs Well its better policed than the other ramps.
