months after a visiting tourist to the Ribble Val ley had his caravan stolen on the A59, when he left it unattended for only 15 minutes. The new sticker can be
attached to the front near side window of the cara van and will alert police officers if it is being towed by the wrong vehicle. Sgt Neil Wilkinson, of
