Mate, the shitbags will have a crack no matter where you park. There have been posts before about woodies and ramps in Rockingham where cars have been broken into etc.

My advice is to remove anything valuable from the car, leave glovebox and centre-consol open and put a hitch lock on your trailer. I leave my car and trailer at ramps which are well lit and luckily have had no issues.

Don't let it ruin your snapper hunt mate.

thanks mate, I am worried as I have a new Ford Everest with a few mods, and don't really want it vandalised, BUT, I bloody want to go fishing.
Might just take the risk

 The number of times I've seen piles of broken glass at the crpark there early in the morning always stopped me from parking there overnight.

 If you're looking at launching from Woodies on a regular basis then it's well worth joining the boat club because, as the bloke at the tackle shop I go to said to me, "The membership fee each year costs less than the cost of replacing a window".  For me the piece of mind of having my car in a sercure carpark, having someone making sure there lauching and retrieving is done in an orderly and organised manner during busy times and having the wash down facilities is more than enough reason for me to be a member.
