The theft is a heavy blow to the couple, not only emotional, but also equipment. « We worked for two years to get our bus ready for road, » sighs Vanhoof. « We searched for Keilang.

Not only that, we are lost everything in it: papers, laptops, clothes … »

The search for the stolen camper did not yield anything for the time being. « In the meantime we have driven through very files, every parking was looking to Cologne. But it is the search for a pin in a haystack. »
