A second caravan owner has criticised police because he has still not heard from an officer three months after his £13,000 vehicle was stolen.

Pensioner John Lee, from Kidlington, said he was disgusted with the service he received from Thames Valley Police since he reported his 'second home' stolen on July 16 this year.

His criticisms come days after Stephen Davies, from Stonesfield, contacted the Oxford Mail about his unsuccessful efforts to speak to an officer after his caravan was taken two weeks ago.

Mr Lee, 69, who was in the Navy, said having his 18-month-old Bailey Champagne caravan stolen was one of the most traumatic experiences of his life, and the police response made the situation worse.

He said: "I told a civilian officer at the police station what had happened as soon as I found out, but I have not heard anything since. They just don't care.

"I have a good mind to write to the Chief Constable and say what are you playing at? If it were not for the television you would not know what a copper looked like.

"I feel very bitter. They say they prioritise, so it is not important? It's incredibly important to me and my wife.

"We are old and we use it as our second home and we used to go down there all the time.

"When it happened it was such a trauma. It was a gut wrenching feeling. I have never had anything that big nicked before."

Mr Lee said electrical items including a television and DVD player and other items totalling around £2,000 were also taken when thieves got past his security measures to steal the vehicle. Police spokesman Kate Smith said: "The caravan was reported stolen on July 16 this year. There were no witnesses to the theft and no CCTV covering the area. The caravan has been circulated as stolen.

"Should the gentleman decide to complain about the service he received from Thames Valley Police we will thoroughly investigate his concerns and will contact him direct."

On Saturday the Oxford Mail reported on Mr Davies's frustration with the police after he had still not heard from an officer after four phone calls to civilian officers and being told a beat officer would visit him.

Carpets worth about £4,000 belonging to two other neighbours were also taken.
