Yes, had a similar experience a few years ago in a conservation park north
of Brisbane inland from the Sunshine Coast. Like your case Russ there was
another car parked with someone in it. When we returned from our walk our
hire car had been broken into and some of our gear stolen. One of us should
have stayed with the car and do now.

Subject: Don't assume
Further to my little lecture on perspective last night, another cautionary
tale:
Don't assume that vehicles parked in a known birding hotspot are looking for
birds. Stopped at the well-publicized Banded Lapwing spot on Beach Rd at
Avalon (Vic) this morning and noticed one vehicle was empty - then asked the
man and woman in the second vehicle if they were looking for the Banded
Lapwings (I hadn't been able to spot any as I drove out to WTP earlier).
They gave me an odd look, said "No!" and wound their window back up. I
didn't bother hanging round to try to spot the lapwings ....
