Hi everyone! We wanted to start off by saying how much we appreciate each and every one of you. This community is the GREATEST group of people and we are so blessed to call you our family. Thank you for the kind messages, the support and the love this week (and every week). We love you! Second, we just wanted to reiterate that while it was a real shock to lose everything we have learned such a valuable lesson. THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE AREN'T THINGS! Our technology can be replaced but we cannot. Hug a loved one extra tight for us today! Last, we cannot believe how lucky we are to have met Virginia and Ricard! Over the past week they have been a safe space for us and we just wanted to send them some EXTRA love today! Big hugs to you all ❤️
when I lived in England, this is in 2001, in Camden town to be exact, I was renting a room with a friend, and we locked our doors. We both decided to go out of town for the weekend, hiding our electronics, I came back and someone came into my room and stole my laptop. Never got it recovered but I learned people rob electronics to be sold on the streets. What part of Spain are you in??? I used to live there.
also adding I think it was the owner of the building. He was from South America and wasn't happy we were not around to pay rent that day. He would burst into peoples rooms demand money which wasn't right. I was only there for three weeks. I told him we wouldn't be there and he would get his money on that Monday. He was okay with it. at the time. Then he 'forgot' so I know it was him just couldn't prove it ;'( .
💔 Think we all feel yr pain Guys... You can hear the sadness in the tone of Bec's voice most of the way through that vlog... We have the same fears every time we leave our van, and sometimes resort to carrying our laptops and hard-drive around in our backpacks..Not possible with the amount of gear you guys have of course.. Awful feeling that you think it may be someone watching yr channel as well 😢 Im a great believer in Karma 👊🏽 Great spirit and attitude not to let it get you down for too long.. Keep yr Chin up as the say in the UK 🇬🇧 🚐💨❤️🤗
Not even kinda! Bec is the most positive person I've come across in awhile! Always smiling, always looking on the bright side even in bad situations! Kudos to Eamon & Bec for handling this so wonderfully! ✌️❤️👍
Heather Rae totally agree. The other thing is the irreplaceable memories you lost. The stuff you'd already filmed for example. The amount of HASSLE from losing your phone's...? And as Heather said having your space violated.
It frustrates me a little that you felt you had to apologize for reacting the way you did, Bec. I would absolutely freak even if someone broke in my house and didn’t take anything that valuable. Just a break in is soooo intrusive. I hope no one makes the assumption that you’re materialistic at all, especially living your such minimal lifestyle. In certain ways, you take more value than a regular person in that stuff because it’s part of your life not just “stuff”. I do appreciate your awareness in pointing out why you were upset, and communicating that with us. I love and adore you guys and wish you the best, and I hope these videos can eventually rebuild that kit and you’ll have this beautiful community to follow you regardless of the quality of your footage. No camera, no gear can compare to your beautiful faces and incredible adventures.
I COMPLETELY agree..i would cry my eye balls out --- yea.. its things.. but things you've earned through hard work over 3 YEARS to have... thats like a company going into your bank account and taking back all the money you earned and you finding out at the store when you're buying groceries and your card is declined. SAME THING.
i don’t think you were dramatic at all, bec. things like this are scary and you feel SO MANY emotions. i would have reacted very similar. i’m so happy you guys are ok though and you handled it so well, individually and as a couple.
Awe thank you Sammie. I really appreciate the kindness and love ❤️. I am sure there is no "right way" to act in moments like this and I did embrace feeling all the feelings x
Becc, please be very gentle with yourself and how you process this. I've had patients take months to process similar situations due to the feelings of violation and the accompanied feeling of being unsafe in the future. It takes however long it takes for you to heal, let yourself cry and yell when you need to. Meditation, yoga, and positive affirmations help a great deal but also be mindful not to suppress your feelings in an effort to "hurry up and feel better". I've done that to myself in the past and it really just drags it out in the end. Lots of love and light from our home to yours 🕉️🙏❤️💖
Yo creo Alex que al verles grabando con la cámara y hablando en otro idioma, no les tomaron en serio porque a veces.... La policia en España siempre te trata con respeto y te ayuda. Yo sólo tengo buenas experiencias a ese respecto.🤷🏽♀️ Aún así, me da pena la situación. I'm so sorry!🙏💖
I agree with Alex, in one or another way, the treatment of the police was so terrible.To be a police in Spain you have to study a lot of laws, electromagnetism, and just a bit of written English...
@@J.J.FDEZ1984 quizá no me he explicado bien: no es que no entendieran (creo yo) sino que el panorama o imagen que reciben les pudo parecer que el asunto era diferente al que era. Yo si necesito ayuda no me pongo a filmar a la policia. No sé, pero mi experiencia con la policia en España, siempre que les he necesitado ha sido excelente. Incluso un día que se nos despistó un niño y no le encontrábamos, uno motorizado llevó a uno de mis hijos en la moto 🏍 para buscar al extraviado y consiguieron encontrarlo enseguida y que aquello no fuera tan amargo. Saludos y a seguir viajando.😉💖
When you take photos, sometimes the cameras serial number is recorded in the metadata. You can use websites to look for your cameras photos being uploaded online. I hope you see this, I hope you give it a go and I hope it helps. Stay positive and keep doing what you’re doing
@@conroybent4586 I'm not sure how this applies to residents of other countries, but in the US it's actually your property insurance that covers your belongings in your vehicle, NOT your auto insurance. This is a common misconception. Your auto insurance covers the vehicle itself, plus damage the vehicle or operation of the vehicle does to person or property. Theft of personal items (items that'd normally be kept in a house) from your vehicle would have to be covered under a Homeowners or Renters policy, but even then some items aren't covered by default, and you'd have to get special add-ons for them to be paid for. And of course, as Eamon smartly pointed out, insurance companies want police reports to validate theft.
I love how you guys calmly communicate with respect for each other's feelings even when under tremendous stress. This is a blessing you should cherish.
There's nothing wrong with your reaction, dear. All that was lost was from your hard work and it's normal to be devastated and to breakdown. I'm glad you're both safe.
I'm so impressed that even in the moment, you're saying things like "I hope this can help someone else," "Thank you for not taking our computers." Perfect example of finding the good in even a terrible situation.
@@themelissaeileen I'm sure they are OK at least. But they are also much richer than their thieves, whether the thieves are on 500 euro unemployment benefit, or even a "good" 1200 euro job
@@fidetrainer Dont try to justify the criminals and make them the victim, having less than other people doesnt give you the right to take from people that have more.
Girl it’s traumatic and so invasive. Don’t be embarrassed about reacting the way you did, I can promise you I would have had an absolute mental breakdown to the point where I would have had to taken sedatives. We know it’s not because material things have been stolen, it’s collective. And it’s a feeling of being in a foreign place without any security of your cell phones, and losing everything you’ve worked for as well as knowing some stranger with malicious intent rummaged through the place you’re supposed to feel secure. Your reaction is completely justifiable. I’m glad you guys are okay!
@stuart Munnery this is why the van lifers Liam and Janine from happy days TH-cam channel have removals written on the side of their van so people think it's a removals van and not a van lifers van with expensive equipment ; maybe inside .
I love you two. I'm 65, getting divorced, sold my house, and am about to start a solo van life. Your videos have taught me a lot about how to make life in a van work. I so enjoy your joie d' vive and you do such a wonderful job of sharing the good and the bad. It was a bit hard to watch you go through this but I am glad I watched it. I need to go into this with my eyes wide open. Also, Becca, please know that what you experienced emotionally is absolutely normal. People who have had their homes broken into or their cars stolen often report feeling violated. As I watched your reaction, that's what I thought you were feeling. I am so glad that you were finally able to find some sympathetic police officers who helped you both so generously. God bless you both as you continue your wonderful travels! ♥️
@Linda: I'm 63 1/2 and I am trading my dream car in for my van and reconnecting with my Gypsy Soul. I. cannot. wait. And you said every single thing I came here to say. It's such a violation, what happened to them. Her reaction was wholly appropriate. I think they both handled this so beautifully. And yes, ma'am, I too needed to see this. It actually does help, to see how it can happen. May the road rise to meet you all, going forward!!
Jason Brown gosh yes. All my technology is secondhand and rubbish. But I’m a collector of paper. I have a book with passwords etc in and collect maps and tourist stuff.
Girl, even though it’s “just stuff,” it’s still such a violation. About a year ago, my apartment was broken into and they took several electronics. But the WORST part was that there were people in my private space, touching my things, seeing inside my personal life. I’m sorry this happened to y’all but you handled it beautifully! All my love 🖤
When your home is broken into, it's a violation. It makes you feel unsafe. That is cause for a LOT of emotion and "drama". You reacted like a human being. Don't knock yourself for it.
Your reaction wasn't too dramatic at all! The violation you feel when you know that a stranger went through your personal items rocks you to your core and, on top of that, it wasn't just your vehicle they violated, it was literally your home. 💔
I think the positive side is still overwhelming large: your home on wheels is still there, they left your macbooks too. There are a couple of things you can do. Install door chains with a cylinder on your side and back doors and exit/enter your van through your driver's doors. Secondly install a dash cam, with a motion detector that records to the inside. Thirdly install an invisible kill switch so that people can't just drive away with your home. (here's a video th-cam.com/video/XUhXLsrZiE0/w-d-xo.html ) Forth, maybe they started your phone, and you can track them down with Google, through the GPS positioning of your phone, in case you switched it on.
The driver doors are a weak point (though not as weak as those 30 year old worn and sticky VW locks). A pair of bolt locks on the front doors on the inside and a Thule Van Security lock on the sliding (and back) door is most common. There are cheaper and more expensive options on market for commercial vans, but this combo is quite nice solution since it can be easily installed and the outside lock is demotivating the lazy intruders. Off course if one is determined to enter, they will break a window and jump inside.
Sorry to here the bad news. I’m curious how they got in too...just so I can know how to better protect myself. I would assume the glass windows but just checking. Thanks and good luck.
@Cupamo America? North America? South America? Are you referring to Canada, Mexico, The United States, Brazil or another? I find it funny your calling this person stupid.
You know I understand you guys saying “it’s only stuff “ but you do not need to explain your reaction. You have every dam right. Crying...I would have been balling. You guys worked so hard for those things. I’m so sorry this happened to you both! I was robbed 2 weeks before my wedding and they stole our wedding bands + . I remember that feeling of being violated... strangers in my HOME creeped me out for a long time. I LOVE what Eamon said “KARMA”. it’s true... all my love! I’ll be purchasing your cookbook today!
Bec you are such a sweet heart, you were being so positive and grateful even through your tears. This is why you have such an awesome life! Hope it all worked out for you guys. Sending love
I totally understand Bec's reaction. It's very intrusive, your home is so personal to you both and the thought of someone invading that is very upsetting and then the stolen goods on top, I feel you Bec! Life has ups and downs, we need those downs to celebrate the good! ♥️ Sending love!
Bec, when I watch the video I never once thought you were crying over loss stuff. I felt in my spirit you were crying over the invasion of y’all’s privacy and the loss of the boundaries between you and them. I also thought it was frightening, not to mention they stole the very things y’all need to create your channel. They stole the tools for your job. Just wanted you to know when you cried, I cried. I’m so sorry but I’m glad y’all are moving forward and pressing on into the Van Life with the good the bad and at times the ugly. Thanks for being real little lady. Praying over y’all and Trinity. ❤️
You weren't overdramatic and never apologize for your emotions. You were in shock, felt helpless and your space was invaded. Your feelings were raw and real and needed to be expressed. It's actually a very healthy response and when you had a moment to breathe and re-evaluate, you focused on the positive.
Phillip Ingham i love it when idiots help rich spoiled kids all through the facade of youtube love vibes. Y’all are insane, go outside and meet your neighbors instead of fawning over dumb and naive youtubers
I just want to say that the way you two are together is so beautiful. Even under stressful situations. The way you treat each other really stood out to me the most. Never of you yelled out of frustration just were there for each other. Had this happened to me and my ex he probably would have somehow blamed me. Even when she said she ordered a beer he said oh good for you! I was like wow they’re so good for each other! My ex would have been like omg why? I just want to go home and complained. Thank you for restoring a little bit of hope in love and respect!
If you ever have an issue like this while traveling in a foreign country, you should always be able to call your country's embassy in the country you are visiting to explain the problem.
You are so right. On top of that people know you’re not from there, you can’t be to laid back thinking the hotel security is on your side. I hate this happened to them.
Actually it's a good idea to call the Embassy to tell them who you are, where you're going and how long you'll be there. Especially in countries known for serious crime. I ferried helicopters from Europe to Nigeria and had problems with an aviation govt official in Morocco. One call to the Aviation officer at the US Embassy and the chief of aviation for Marrakech called me that afternoon saying he would meet me at the airport the next morning to grant departure clearance. I was once detained (can you saw arrested?) and my helicopter was impounded in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso. I called the on duty officer at the Embassy and he came to make sure everything was legal. Paid a fee, released the next day and flew off. Then there was the time I was detained in Guinea-Bissau and ordered to turn over the aircraft key to the airfield commander. Got kind of sticky when I refused but when I got the proof I was there legally the commander disappeared and i was cleared to go.
When I do my conversion I'll be adding a mountable safe to the frame of the vehicle for added protection for my valuables, I suggest maybe doing the same in time. Hope luck turns around for y'all!
I travel alot with my equipment too because i do documentary work. You can also pull your drone apart and put a gps chip inside your drone/cameras that you can activate when you want. If they take my shit i can go right to the police and show them exactly where the turds are hiding.
I was gonna say this is my biggest fear as i plan to be a solo vanlifer (woman). is there no system to add to a van that people can't break into it. Or I think i've seen people install cameras and safes. I don't know I LOVE how positive Bec and Eamon (sounds weird.. ) I mean Eamon and Bec were, but if people steal my phone or computer i wouldn't be able to buy one just like that, and also, what if someone breaks in while I am in there, how do I defend myself? :/
If you're doing a sprinter I removed my passenger seat and mounted a small safe underneath...put the seat back on theres only enough room to fit one hand in to retrieve your items...in order to steal it you would have to disassemble the seat and remove it and then try and pry the safe up.
I understand how it feels. My house was broken into and I was robbed. Its definitely about the invasiveness and someone coming into your HOME and going through your personal space. I'm sorry this happened to you guys! Much love from Tx 😥
I am sorry to hear that you've gone through a similar experience. Yes, for me it was definitely that invaded-feeling that has left me feeling so uneasy this past week. The van has always been my little safe space and haven and it is very unsettling to have that questioned.
@@eamonandbec I completely understand! I ended up borrowing my friends 80 lb dog for the week after it happened. She stayed with me at night until I felt safe again.
@@eamonandbec I disturbed a burglar in my house 11 years ago.Very frightening experience,but luckily he was just as afraid of me as i was of him and he ran up stairs and jumped out the bedroom window.I managed to get up the courage to chase him and he threw most of what he had taken in a neighbours garden,because it was in a rucksack and he knew he would be spotted if he went up town with it.I recovered it months later when the neighbour spotted it.He didn't take much and most i recovered ,but its the violation of your personal space and home thats,plus having to install an alarm system which is still costing money and installing a new back door which was quite expensive.
I’ve been watching so many old videos of yours, every single ad and have even been leaving your videos on auto play overnight so it helps that tiny bit more too. So sorry that this happened to you guys. It’s not just about losing your things you worked hard to get but also that strangers have been in your home and through your things which is a horrible feeling too. Wishing you nothing but the best and I hope you get everything back on track again soon.
HeresTwoAdventure It’s the least I can do. It sounds corny as hell, but Eamon and Bec have helped me though some tough times of my own just by posting their videos and sharing their positivity with all of us ❤️ I wish I could do more than just watching more vids and the ads!
My house was broken into when I was 14. The stuff they took wasn't very important but it's so unsettling knowing someone with bad intentions has entered your space without you even knowing. Very scary and very stressful. I'm so sorry this happened to you guys!
My truck was broken into. Nothing of value was stolen but i 100% agree with you. Its suck a violating and slimey feeling knowing someone was going through your stuff. Especially because you don't know who the fuck it was.
I’ve never been broken into even though I don’t live in a safe city lol, but I would feel very violated and i’ve been thinking about buying a shotgun. Get a gun and protect yourself!
I think you were completely in the right feeling how you were feeling. I feel like in this moment in time, we are hyper aware of privilege and all these or offensive things that offend others, however you got robbed girl. You are showing your life for all to see. Trinity is not only a van, She is your home and She was violated and robbed. Cry and wail ... its cool. We all would do the same thing; those things that were stolen were product of your hard work. What shows how resilient you both are is how you deal with the situations that are presented, after the crying. I look foward to Sundays to watch your videos. Im sending much love to you both. Thanks for sharing your journey and adventures.
It's OK to scream over losing things, especially when you've worked SO HARD for the money to purchase those things. It's heart-breaking and I hate that this happened to you guys.
I remember when my friend broke into my apartment after telling him I was going out of town. I ended up coming home early, to him ransacking my place. Doesent compare to the time I had a gun pointed at me. Wrong place, wrong time. You pick up the broken pieces. Grow from the experience, life throws at you, no matter how shitty. You 2 are good people, and it sucks to have it happen to you, especially when you feel like you have authorities working against you.
I have a friend , he went to Israel, he came out of the ocean = his bag 💼 was stolen , no passport , no wallet and NO eyeglasses . He had to wander back into the town, he could not see , did not speak the language , long story short a family took him into their home until he got sorted. Ended up having an incredible experience .
"Bec, I think, is just going to get hammered and we'll figure it out tomorrow." 😅 Sending you love and light as you work through this adversity. Being robbed hurts on so many levels and can take a lot of time to recover from. 💓
You do not need to apologize for your reaction. You live a life of very few things. Losing any one of them has a much greater impact than for someone who has a house full of stuff. Especially since the few items you have are expensive and part of how you earn a living. You have managed this shock extremely well and shown the resilience needed for the future. I am glad there are people like you in this world.
Hey Guys! I'm so sorry for you that this happened to you at your trip in Spain! I am actually German but lived in Barcelona for 1,5 years! Spain is in general a quit criminal country compared to others in Europe! I got robbed there 2 times!!! I'm so sorry I couldn't warn you before... :( A friend of mine also had an rv, he parked it at a parking lot (also in Spain!) had a nice day at the beach & as he turned back his COMPLETE VAN was stolen! Unfortunately there aren't many Spanish people speaking English... I really wish you all the best & hope you can still enjoy vanlife!! Love to you! Joanna 😊☀️👋🏽❤️
"At least the beer tastes good" LOL Bec I just wanted to hug you while you were crying, I don't think you were being dramatic. Even if you were crying over your things - you worked for and paid for those things. And you still have an amazing way to stay positive and make jokes and reflect back on the situation and think you could have been even more positive, that's a powerful energy to encounter in a person and I aspire to gain a level of positivity like that. You guys are good people and didn't deserve this. Thank you for sharing the bad times with us too!
I don’t have any money to spend right now but I bought the cookbook when it was first published and for the last week I’ve been watching as many old E&B videos as I can. Bec, you were definitely NOT overly dramatic. I’m impressed with how well you both are handling this. ❤️❤️
My house has been broken into seven times and robbed of all valuables each - though each time much less. The first time I cried all night. That was the night I became a minimilist, I stopped caring about all my physical possessions. And as you pointed out it was more the broken lock, the broken window, the invasiveness of someone, which wasn't permitted to enter, entering. Keep the positive outlook and this sucks - you have a good positive community following you.
When hauling goods or tools anything in cargo vans it is recommended to use secondary heavy pad locks. They can be welded on to doors in a way that is seem less. Very confident in those locks I know guys who leave vans on the street in Brooklyn.
I'm from Spain and I feel so sorry to see how things work in my own Country (specially the Police). It's sad, but true... Sorry guys! I would have gladly helped you!
Not true. My daughter and her friends were robbed in Sevilla. They went to the police station and reported it. No problem at all. My car was broken into at another time. I went to the Guardia Civil, they did the report but they didn't want to do a fingerprint kit but I insisted and they did it. We did have to wait with the car because they had broken into around 10 cars in our neighborhood. Each policeman has different duties. They have only one or maybe 2 doing reports even if there are more on duty
@@TH-campremiumaccountuser girl they speak speak Spanish. They spoke Spanish to the people there. They spoke English a lot in the video for people who don’t speak Spanish. Also, why are you trying to sh*t on Canada because it is English speaking? Who cares what language a country is.
When I was a teen our house got robbed. The worst thing was watching my mom cry about her wedding ring and sentimental stuff dad gave her. I found out who did it and got everything back but the jewelry
Oh man ... I feel your pain. Literally. I've been there. Gear is such a personal thing and takes years to make the "kit" just right. It's such a violation of home and space. But, you still have your van and clothes and shoes to wear, a bed to sleep in, and your kitchen. And very lucky they dusted for prints, something they won't do here. Sage smudge to clear, then palo sante to bring light energy into your space. (I've learned that security is first priority when I get my next van.) Keep moving forward!
I feel you Bec. Our house was also broken into when we were away and just the realisation that someone not invited and with a negative motive entered the place we call "home and that is so much precious to us" is just hard to digest. It's a pretty hard realisation hitting you on the face. It took me long enough to sleep peacefully without thinking that our house isn't just "ours" and "private" anymore. And i cried myself to sleep for the first few days out of frustration. So i feel you on another level. Just stay strong lady. Prayers for future safety and health for the both of you and Trinity.
Thank you Maya. Really appreciate the prayers and extra love today. You really hit the nail on the head and it's something that can only really be described like that if you've been through it yourself. I am sorry you had to experience this ❤️
Neither of you over-reacted, you home has been invaded and you feel violated. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I wish had money, if I did I would find a way to get it to you. All I can do is one be thankful neither of you were hurt. Second pray that you get things replaced quickly and you recover from this incident. Sending prayers and love.
I'm so sorry this happened to you guys but so glad you're able to take the positives from it. The community here is so strong and I'm sure you will be able to resolve all of this. Stay positive ✌
New subscriber! You absolutely were not being dramatic! Having someone enter your home, vehicle, personal space, and steal your things, is such an invasion of privacy! My husband is now a police officer but was active duty Army and we had all of our possessions in a Pod storage while living homes and it was broken into. They stole everything. Our clothes, holiday decorations, my husband’s Army gear and memorabilia, I had quite a collection of handbags-which in the grand scheme isn’t “important”, except that I worked very hard to buy them or they were gifts for milestones on my life or vintage left to me by my grandma that passed away….they took so much. This was in 2014, and I still think about it weekly. It was traumatizing. ❤️❤️
I'm sorry guys ❤ having a security case bolted to the ground and locked under your bed is a good idea for the future. Also, getting security cameras can help you keep tabs on what happens in the van. Make a police report regardless of what they are telling you. File the report. You dont need the serial numbers, that can come in late. The police officers are just being lazy. Wait and file, push for it.
When I was a kid, our flat was broken into. In addition to the financial loss (jewelry, and so forth), and the loss of unreplacable family memorabilia, I remember the deep feeling of our intimacy being violated and our privacy being stomped up. I still remember it vividly, many years later.
This whole thing with “not wanting to care/cry for materialistic thing” is such bull materialistic things have value to a person just as much as a person they have memories they have value hard earned money, time used to purchase those items, GIFTS, all of those things weather it’s something like a tv or a phone to an item of clothing or maybe something passed down through generations it doesn’t matter it’s still a loss and it’s okay to be angry to be upset, to scream and cry however those emotions present themselves is fine
exactly i would've preferred an honest reaction than that bullshit " i don't want you to think i cry for materialistic things " like it's a bad thing! STFU you WERE crying about the loss of those materialistic things too and it's fine like OMG can we stop with this " i'm a better person if i don't care about materialistic things " bullshit like please
Don't forget that phones, laptops, all that stuff has memories stored on them, and they're used to keep connected with family and friends. It's not just things, it's a whole lot more.
@@ThessaValmy Well you did "see" their honest reaction. So, I'm not sure why you would write that you would've preferred to see it. She is just trying to stay positive, and grateful... She doesn't want to give the people who stole their belongings more than they have already taken... Their spirituality, taking them out of their head space, and from being grateful. If you were enlightened & awake you'd understand that. Be kind, grateful, & offer positive support ❤ Christina & The Animal Love Fest 😽😽😽🐺🐰💋
I know I am late to this party as it is several years later....but I wanted you to know I cried at the beginning over your hurt and the injustice and then I cried at the end over the kindness of others and your true gratefulness. Always remain grateful. This beautiful universe brought the two of you together and and together you brought 'you' to the rest of us. Only great people can have great fans. God Bless. Keeping you in my prayers. xx00xx
@@Dawgley that's really sad of you to say. she was feeling a lot of emotions and this is her reaction. what are you trying to say? we shouldn't share how we felt about the situation? we should bottle up our emotions? im so sorry if that's what you do because that's so unhealthy. i've seen overreaction, and it's nothing like this.
I had someone break in my home while my daughter and I were sleeping and we never even heard him! In time you will feel safe again! This is my one fear for life but you guys handle it like champs! Bec you did NOT OVER REACT I would have gotten passed out drunk! Lol Eamon you are so right KARMA will get them or has already!
Wow ! That’s crazy, which is why I have a dog, best alarm system ever, can’t live without a dog anyway, they’re just awesome animals, all animals are , glad those dirtbags didn’t hurt you physically
it was someone close to you, that know when and how you sleep, and how loud they can be, or your a really heavy sleeper, either way im soooo sorry that happened to ya, hope they got what have coming.
@@jameswcarr3635 it was someone really close that set it up to scare me so I would take an x bf back! Which I didn't! I heard scratching and bang at the door in the back but I thought it was my cats playing.
I can so understand Bec's reaction. I'm glad you and Eamon had each other to lean on. I had my apartment broken into and was so thankful my boyfriend was with me, just for the emotional support. I know you guys no longer are part of van life, but I hope you got a security system for the van itself. Even the loud noise would stop robbers from hanging around to see anything else they could steal.
the way they handled this was incredible. even though this was so traumatic and heartbreaking they focused on the positive and i applaud them for that. thank you eamon and bec for showing us how to stay positive and look at the good. we all love you and hope for the best for you two.❤️
Wow, I loved how you explained you know you are privileged... B doesn’t have to apologize for her first reaction. I feel like everyone would be horribly upset... but when you got your wits together and started to figure things out .... got a beer at a cafe you learned you had your health and each other and your van still...
We’ve had our home broken into too. They broke stuff just senselessly. It’s devastating the personal invasive feeling it leaves you. So sorry this happened to you. There are evil people taking advantage of good people. You will recover and be stronger! Keep your courage!
So sad that this has happened to you, my heart goes out to you both. I too have been robbed before in my home and lost all my electronics and various personal items and many other thefts over the years, it always feels so violating. We pick ourselves up and rebuild with gratitude for our life and that we live regardless of those who violate our domain. You clearly did not deserve this to happen to you, as you are very kind and loving people. I hope that things rebuild and heal quickly and that you have safe and happy travels in the now. Love and healing
Never apologize for what you have. You are not privileged, you earned what you have and good on you for living an awesome life! Stay safe and enjoy your travels!
Wow I seriously feel this in my core.😣 Maybe 50 or so times, I’ve come home from elementary school to find my family’s home literally in shambles, windows broken, doors kicked in, security system disarmed and/or destroyed. This hit me hard. Watching Bec standing in the van crying really brought those memories back. My heart goes out to anyone who has been through this or something similar💔
You didn’t over react at all!!! Those are your valuable belongings and no one should ever break into your home( in your case this is your van) Loved watching your videos 💜💜💜 Keep your heads up!! You guys are awesome
I know this video was awhile ago and I'm late to the party, but just wanted to say, this is another lesson in how life can be so much more beautiful when kindness is given to each other. This was a terrible incident and the thing that made you fell better and find your happiness again was the kindness of others, from the man who sold you the phone to the lovely couple at the end of your video and to the police that actually took your plea seriously. Good people make a good world with less suffering. ✌️❤️
I'm so glad that you have one another to lean on and be there for. Even though it is a difficult thing to share, you guys did it with understanding and strength that not many have. I hope you guys continue to recover mentally and physically and I of course look forward to your journey!!! 🥰
I am sorry that happened to you. One bad guy can ruin it for the rest of us. Stay positive and know that most of humanity is good❤️for one person who wronged you there are hundreds who will try to do good
Look I am an older guy (68) and have had ups and downs in my life, including my house broken into, my car stolen, etc. What I see in the two of you is resilience, fortitude and the fact that you are very savvy. This will pass, it will make you more cautious and aware, and in the end you will grow from this experience. I just started watching you and am more than impressed with you both. I wish you both the best, and envy the hell out of your travels. KEEP SMILING!
Hi everyone! We wanted to start off by saying how much we appreciate each and every one of you. This community is the GREATEST group of people and we are so blessed to call you our family. Thank you for the kind messages, the support and the love this week (and every week). We love you!
Second, we just wanted to reiterate that while it was a real shock to lose everything we have learned such a valuable lesson. THE BEST THINGS IN LIFE AREN'T THINGS! Our technology can be replaced but we cannot. Hug a loved one extra tight for us today!
Last, we cannot believe how lucky we are to have met Virginia and Ricard! Over the past week they have been a safe space for us and we just wanted to send them some EXTRA love today!
Big hugs to you all ❤️
when I lived in England, this is in 2001, in Camden town to be exact, I was renting a room with a friend, and we locked our doors. We both decided to go out of town for the weekend, hiding our electronics, I came back and someone came into my room and stole my laptop. Never got it recovered but I learned people rob electronics to be sold on the streets. What part of Spain are you in??? I used to live there.
also adding I think it was the owner of the building. He was from South America and wasn't happy we were not around to pay rent that day. He would burst into peoples rooms demand money which wasn't right. I was only there for three weeks. I told him we wouldn't be there and he would get his money on that Monday. He was okay with it. at the time. Then he 'forgot' so I know it was him just couldn't prove it ;'( .
Estoy Feliz : I am happy you both are okay!! So sorry that happened to you *virtual hug*
Eamon & Bec: yes the police are not helpful but what you can do is make a report at the Embassy! I remember having to do that while living in Spain.
💔 Think we all feel yr pain Guys...
You can hear the sadness in the tone of Bec's voice most of the way through that vlog...
We have the same fears every time we leave our van, and sometimes resort to carrying our laptops and hard-drive around in our backpacks..Not possible with the amount of gear you guys have of course..
Awful feeling that you think it may be someone watching yr channel as well 😢 Im a great believer in Karma 👊🏽
Great spirit and attitude not to let it get you down for too long..
Keep yr Chin up as the say in the UK 🇬🇧
🚐💨❤️🤗
You didn’t over react at all Bec. Having some person in your home is such an invasion of your peace and space. Sorry this happened to you.
Not even kinda! Bec is the most positive person I've come across in awhile! Always smiling, always looking on the bright side even in bad situations! Kudos to Eamon & Bec for handling this so wonderfully! ✌️❤️👍
Heather Rae can you believ they were watching them??
Heather Rae totally agree. The other thing is the irreplaceable memories you lost. The stuff you'd already filmed for example. The amount of HASSLE from losing your phone's...? And as Heather said having your space violated.
If they were watching them and male. They would have stole all her clothes as well.
Definitely not overreacting. That's your home, your safe place. I know how you were feeling. So sorry that happened to y'all!
It frustrates me a little that you felt you had to apologize for reacting the way you did, Bec. I would absolutely freak even if someone broke in my house and didn’t take anything that valuable. Just a break in is soooo intrusive. I hope no one makes the assumption that you’re materialistic at all, especially living your such minimal lifestyle. In certain ways, you take more value than a regular person in that stuff because it’s part of your life not just “stuff”. I do appreciate your awareness in pointing out why you were upset, and communicating that with us. I love and adore you guys and wish you the best, and I hope these videos can eventually rebuild that kit and you’ll have this beautiful community to follow you regardless of the quality of your footage. No camera, no gear can compare to your beautiful faces and incredible adventures.
Michaela Radecki I was thinking the same thing. All your feelings are valid bec
Very well said my name sake. I felt so bad when Bec was so upset, but I never thought for a second that Bec was overreacting. 💕🥰💕
Wow!!
Well said.
I COMPLETELY agree..i would cry my eye balls out --- yea.. its things.. but things you've earned through hard work over 3 YEARS to have... thats like a company going into your bank account and taking back all the money you earned and you finding out at the store when you're buying groceries and your card is declined. SAME THING.
i don’t think you were dramatic at all, bec. things like this are scary and you feel SO MANY emotions. i would have reacted very similar. i’m so happy you guys are ok though and you handled it so well, individually and as a couple.
Awe thank you Sammie. I really appreciate the kindness and love ❤️. I am sure there is no "right way" to act in moments like this and I did embrace feeling all the feelings x
RIGHT i would feel so violated!
Yes! You did not overreact. I would have been the same way, maybe even worse.
Becc, please be very gentle with yourself and how you process this. I've had patients take months to process similar situations due to the feelings of violation and the accompanied feeling of being unsafe in the future. It takes however long it takes for you to heal, let yourself cry and yell when you need to. Meditation, yoga, and positive affirmations help a great deal but also be mindful not to suppress your feelings in an effort to "hurry up and feel better". I've done that to myself in the past and it really just drags it out in the end.
Lots of love and light from our home to yours 🕉️🙏❤️💖
Sammie Thach i would’ve been way worse for sure! I’d be bawling and howling and cursing the bastards who did it lol 💔
As a Spanish I feel ashamed for the treatment that the police gave to you. So sorry you had to go through this ❤️
Yo creo Alex que al verles grabando con la cámara y hablando en otro idioma, no les tomaron en serio porque a veces.... La policia en España siempre te trata con respeto y te ayuda. Yo sólo tengo buenas experiencias a ese respecto.🤷🏽♀️
Aún así, me da pena la situación. I'm so sorry!🙏💖
I agree with Alex, in one or another way, the treatment of the police was so terrible.To be a police in Spain you have to study a lot of laws, electromagnetism, and just a bit of written English...
@@J.J.FDEZ1984 quizá no me he explicado bien: no es que no entendieran (creo yo) sino que el panorama o imagen que reciben les pudo parecer que el asunto era diferente al que era. Yo si necesito ayuda no me pongo a filmar a la policia. No sé, pero mi experiencia con la policia en España, siempre que les he necesitado ha sido excelente. Incluso un día que se nos despistó un niño y no le encontrábamos, uno motorizado llevó a uno de mis hijos en la moto 🏍 para buscar al extraviado y consiguieron encontrarlo enseguida y que aquello no fuera tan amargo. Saludos y a seguir viajando.😉💖
La policía de su país hubiese reaccionado igual, estaban conduciendo, no pueden parar, además grabarlos con cámaras tampoco ayuda.
Yh Spain is off my list ain’t going there no more
When you take photos, sometimes the cameras serial number is recorded in the metadata.
You can use websites to look for your cameras photos being uploaded online.
I hope you see this, I hope you give it a go and I hope it helps.
Stay positive and keep doing what you’re doing
This sounds amazing if true. Quick Google search found this: www.stolencamerafinder.com
I Def would have thought they would have done that? Def!
Wow, never knew about that!
Wow i never knew that
Lol most of social media websites and photo sharing services will override the Metadata for privacy purpose except for a few ones
Get a viper alarm. Seems like someone was watching you.
Definitely! Always got to be careful hide things away and have insurance when on the road!
What type of insurance do you need when living in an rv
@@conroybent4586 car insurances! insurances for car accidents and repairs
@@markfarrell3671 lmao what are you saying
@@conroybent4586 I'm not sure how this applies to residents of other countries, but in the US it's actually your property insurance that covers your belongings in your vehicle, NOT your auto insurance. This is a common misconception. Your auto insurance covers the vehicle itself, plus damage the vehicle or operation of the vehicle does to person or property. Theft of personal items (items that'd normally be kept in a house) from your vehicle would have to be covered under a Homeowners or Renters policy, but even then some items aren't covered by default, and you'd have to get special add-ons for them to be paid for. And of course, as Eamon smartly pointed out, insurance companies want police reports to validate theft.
I love how you guys calmly communicate with respect for each other's feelings even when under tremendous stress. This is a blessing you should cherish.
This comment has affected me (positively)
Yes, cherish each other because having a nightmare relationship sucks.
Absolutely. You guys cherish each other.
I didn't expect that but I just started to watch their channel and just I cannot stop. such a great couple..
rare!
There's nothing wrong with your reaction, dear. All that was lost was from your hard work and it's normal to be devastated and to breakdown. I'm glad you're both safe.
I'm so impressed that even in the moment, you're saying things like "I hope this can help someone else," "Thank you for not taking our computers." Perfect example of finding the good in even a terrible situation.
Bec & Eamon are truly incredibly great people to their core!
@@themelissaeileen I'm sure they are OK at least. But they are also much richer than their thieves, whether the thieves are on 500 euro unemployment benefit, or even a "good" 1200 euro job
I noticed that as well and thought, Bec has a wonderfully healthy attitude.
@@fidetrainer Dont try to justify the criminals and make them the victim, having less than other people doesnt give you the right to take from people that have more.
@@Lewdacris916 Tell that to Jengis Khan
"I ordered a beer" is a full mood. This video breaks my heart. Forever admire how incredible you guys are. 💚
🤗🤗
Girl it’s traumatic and so invasive. Don’t be embarrassed about reacting the way you did, I can promise you I would have had an absolute mental breakdown to the point where I would have had to taken sedatives. We know it’s not because material things have been stolen, it’s collective. And it’s a feeling of being in a foreign place without any security of your cell phones, and losing everything you’ve worked for as well as knowing some stranger with malicious intent rummaged through the place you’re supposed to feel secure. Your reaction is completely justifiable. I’m glad you guys are okay!
I completely agree with this it was OK for Beck to react like that
The more the van life community continues to blog about their whereabouts, van model, possessions, etc, the break-ins will never stop.💔
@stuart Munnery this is why the van lifers Liam and Janine from happy days TH-cam channel have removals written on the side of their van so people think it's a removals van and not a van lifers van with expensive equipment ; maybe inside .
I think installing security cameras is a smart move so you can catch the person if this happens again
Thanks for the suggestion Lily!
How did they get in?
yes!
We bought a £50 motion sensor camera - and get a text message if any motion. You need an old mobile phone with a SIM card to broadcast
Lily won’t help in other countries.. no one helps.. cops won’t.
I love you two. I'm 65, getting divorced, sold my house, and am about to start a solo van life. Your videos have taught me a lot about how to make life in a van work. I so enjoy your joie d' vive and you do such a wonderful job of sharing the good and the bad. It was a bit hard to watch you go through this but I am glad I watched it. I need to go into this with my eyes wide open. Also, Becca, please know that what you experienced emotionally is absolutely normal. People who have had their homes broken into or their cars stolen often report feeling violated. As I watched your reaction, that's what I thought you were feeling. I am so glad that you were finally able to find some sympathetic police officers who helped you both so generously. God bless you both as you continue your wonderful travels! ♥️
Good luck on your vanlife journey!
@Linda: I'm 63 1/2 and I am trading my dream car in for my van and reconnecting with my Gypsy Soul. I. cannot. wait. And you said every single thing I came here to say. It's such a violation, what happened to them. Her reaction was wholly appropriate. I think they both handled this so beautifully. And yes, ma'am, I too needed to see this. It actually does help, to see how it can happen. May the road rise to meet you all, going forward!!
Hi,Linda,I can’t wait to see your van travel video,by the way ,will you make some videos or just on your own self？
Getting divorced at 65... 😥
That does not compute.
Getting divorced at 65😱😱😱
I’m so glad I did my traveling thirty years ago...all they could have stolen was a map!
Jason Brown gosh yes. All my technology is secondhand and rubbish. But I’m a collector of paper. I have a book with passwords etc in and collect maps and tourist stuff.
Lol
@Kanye West 🤬🤬🤬🤬😡😡
@Kanye West wtf
i had to sign in to reply... that was comedic gold Mr Brown
i would’ve cried my heart out, please don’t apologize for your feelings love, they are valid. :(
"Let's go home"
"I ordered a beer" lol that's exactly what I'd have done at the end of a day like this
I would
Same😂
"I ran ahead and lost Bec, she's not gonna be happy."
Finds Bec at the pub 😂
I’d a smoked!!!
Girl, even though it’s “just stuff,” it’s still such a violation. About a year ago, my apartment was broken into and they took several electronics. But the WORST part was that there were people in my private space, touching my things, seeing inside my personal life.
I’m sorry this happened to y’all but you handled it beautifully! All my love 🖤
When your home is broken into, it's a violation. It makes you feel unsafe. That is cause for a LOT of emotion and "drama". You reacted like a human being. Don't knock yourself for it.
KK Makesvids No. She reacted like someone who’s privacy had been invaded and who’s space had been violated you sexist piece of human trash.
Your reaction wasn't too dramatic at all!
The violation you feel when you know that a stranger went through your personal items rocks you to your core and, on top of that, it wasn't just your vehicle they violated, it was literally your home. 💔
Whenever a stranger invades you’re private home it’s very scary. You aren’t being dramatic. I’m so sorry this happened.
(New sub’er BTW)
I agree & I sure hope that Karma gets the thief/thieves
I think the positive side is still overwhelming large: your home on wheels is still there, they left your macbooks too.
There are a couple of things you can do. Install door chains with a cylinder on your side and back doors and exit/enter your van through your driver's doors.
Secondly install a dash cam, with a motion detector that records to the inside.
Thirdly install an invisible kill switch so that people can't just drive away with your home. (here's a video th-cam.com/video/XUhXLsrZiE0/w-d-xo.html )
Forth, maybe they started your phone, and you can track them down with Google, through the GPS positioning of your phone, in case you switched it on.
All the cameras in the world won't help if you can't find the a...holes that robbed you. :(
May I ask who takes care of your chai business while you're traveling?
@CNN is a Super PAC for the Democrats Right; and BTW, like your handle.
The driver doors are a weak point (though not as weak as those 30 year old worn and sticky VW locks). A pair of bolt locks on the front doors on the inside and a Thule Van Security lock on the sliding (and back) door is most common. There are cheaper and more expensive options on market for commercial vans, but this combo is quite nice solution since it can be easily installed and the outside lock is demotivating the lazy intruders. Off course if one is determined to enter, they will break a window and jump inside.
Sorry to here the bad news.
I’m curious how they got in too...just so I can know how to better protect myself.
I would assume the glass windows but just checking.
Thanks and good luck.
Rewatching this episode today and my heart breaks all over again. Btw I watch all your old videos to help cope with my severe anxiety. So thank you
I would of been crying all day...and even three days later
cu Koopmeeker love would have* dumb american
@@cupamo8150 it's what we Americans call slang pedro
Have-a- Cigar Yeah it’s so sad
@Cupamo America? North America? South America? Are you referring to Canada, Mexico, The United States, Brazil or another? I find it funny your calling this person stupid.
It feeling sinking when you lost or stolen, we earn the things with so much hardship...
You know I understand you guys saying “it’s only stuff “ but you do not need to explain your reaction. You have every dam right. Crying...I would have been balling. You guys worked so hard for those things. I’m so sorry this happened to you both! I was robbed 2 weeks before my wedding and they stole our wedding bands + . I remember that feeling of being violated... strangers in my HOME creeped me out for a long time. I LOVE what Eamon said “KARMA”. it’s true... all my love! I’ll be purchasing your cookbook today!
So sorry you had to go through this ❤️
Thank you friends 🤗
Body By Bacon yes we did in Granada, such a crappy experience 😞
Bec you are such a sweet heart, you were being so positive and grateful even through your tears. This is why you have such an awesome life! Hope it all worked out for you guys. Sending love
I totally understand Bec's reaction. It's very intrusive, your home is so personal to you both and the thought of someone invading that is very upsetting and then the stolen goods on top, I feel you Bec! Life has ups and downs, we need those downs to celebrate the good! ♥️ Sending love!
Bec, when I watch the video I never once thought you were crying over loss stuff. I felt in my spirit you were crying over the invasion of y’all’s privacy and the loss of the boundaries between you and them. I also thought it was frightening, not to mention they stole the very things y’all need to create your channel. They stole the tools for your job. Just wanted you to know when you cried, I cried. I’m so sorry but I’m glad y’all are moving forward and pressing on into the Van Life with the good the bad and at times the ugly. Thanks for being real little lady. Praying over y’all and Trinity. ❤️
“Let’s go home baby”
“I just ordered a beer”
☺️ sorry guys, hope the thief gets what they deserve
She is so cute right?!
It's possible the thief needed money to feed his children. The world is complicated.
@@boxtruckvanlife5260 That absolutely does not justify robbing someone living in their fucking car
Oh my goodness 😞. I’m so sorry this happened to y’all. Sending spiritual healing vibes and positive vibes for the replacement of everything. 💜
I was still upset over the lens you had to buy. Hearing about this, felt horrible. The way you two have handled all of this is truly inspiring.
🤗🤗🤗🤗
You weren't overdramatic and never apologize for your emotions. You were in shock, felt helpless and your space was invaded. Your feelings were raw and real and needed to be expressed. It's actually a very healthy response and when you had a moment to breathe and re-evaluate, you focused on the positive.
How are you doing 😊😊😊👋😊😊
Hey everyone, if you see this comment, let those ads run just a little longer before skipping. That engagement will send a few more $$$ to Eamon & Bec

Phillip Ingham i never skip
I just want to say that the way you two are together is so beautiful. Even under stressful situations. The way you treat each other really stood out to me the most. Never of you yelled out of frustration just were there for each other. Had this happened to me and my ex he probably would have somehow blamed me. Even when she said she ordered a beer he said oh good for you! I was like wow they’re so good for each other! My ex would have been like omg why? I just want to go home and complained. Thank you for restoring a little bit of hope in love and respect!
If you ever have an issue like this while traveling in a foreign country, you should always be able to call your country's embassy in the country you are visiting to explain the problem.
Renae Brosam ^^^^ US Embassies are life savers
You are so right. On top of that people know you’re not from there, you can’t be to laid back thinking the hotel security is on your side. I hate this happened to them.
And what would that do? Getting robbed is nothing to people over there. People don’t have boundaries and care.
Actually it's a good idea to call the Embassy to tell them who you are, where you're going and how long you'll be there. Especially in countries known for serious crime. I ferried helicopters from Europe to Nigeria and had problems with an aviation govt official in Morocco. One call to the Aviation officer at the US Embassy and the chief of aviation for Marrakech called me that afternoon saying he would meet me at the airport the next morning to grant departure clearance.
I was once detained (can you saw arrested?) and my helicopter was impounded in Ougadougou, Burkina Faso. I called the on duty officer at the Embassy and he came to make sure everything was legal. Paid a fee, released the next day and flew off.
Then there was the time I was detained in Guinea-Bissau and ordered to turn over the aircraft key to the airfield commander. Got kind of sticky when I refused but when I got the proof I was there legally the commander disappeared and i was cleared to go.
@@lisaandmandiontheroad8504 pretty sure getting robbed is an issue for anyone who was robbed.. no matter the country.
"Roll the dice with Karma, the option is yours" So well said!!
When I do my conversion I'll be adding a mountable safe to the frame of the vehicle for added protection for my valuables, I suggest maybe doing the same in time. Hope luck turns around for y'all!
Yes, it is a must! I cant believe they went to Spain without that!
I travel alot with my equipment too because i do documentary work. You can also pull your drone apart and put a gps chip inside your drone/cameras that you can activate when you want. If they take my shit i can go right to the police and show them exactly where the turds are hiding.
Or... just get full time rv insurance. Then all your stuff if protected. not that this idea isn't fine, but also it's over kill.
I was gonna say this is my biggest fear as i plan to be a solo vanlifer (woman). is there no system to add to a van that people can't break into it. Or I think i've seen people install cameras and safes. I don't know I LOVE how positive Bec and Eamon (sounds weird.. ) I mean Eamon and Bec were, but if people steal my phone or computer i wouldn't be able to buy one just like that, and also, what if someone breaks in while I am in there, how do I defend myself? :/
If you're doing a sprinter I removed my passenger seat and mounted a small safe underneath...put the seat back on theres only enough room to fit one hand in to retrieve your items...in order to steal it you would have to disassemble the seat and remove it and then try and pry the safe up.
Bec you didn’t over react it is what lots of people would be like if they got robed stay positive love you all so much keep up the hard work ❤❤❤
I understand how it feels. My house was broken into and I was robbed. Its definitely about the invasiveness and someone coming into your HOME and going through your personal space. I'm sorry this happened to you guys! Much love from Tx 😥
I am sorry to hear that you've gone through a similar experience. Yes, for me it was definitely that invaded-feeling that has left me feeling so uneasy this past week. The van has always been my little safe space and haven and it is very unsettling to have that questioned.
@@eamonandbec I completely understand! I ended up borrowing my friends 80 lb dog for the week after it happened. She stayed with me at night until I felt safe again.
@@eamonandbec I disturbed a burglar in my house 11 years ago.Very frightening experience,but luckily he was just as afraid of me as i was of him and he ran up stairs and jumped out the bedroom window.I managed to get up the courage to chase him and he threw most of what he had taken in a neighbours garden,because it was in a rucksack and he knew he would be spotted if he went up town with it.I recovered it months later when the neighbour spotted it.He didn't take much and most i recovered ,but its the violation of your personal space and home thats,plus having to install an alarm system which is still costing money and installing a new back door which was quite expensive.
I’ve been watching so many old videos of yours, every single ad and have even been leaving your videos on auto play overnight so it helps that tiny bit more too. So sorry that this happened to you guys. It’s not just about losing your things you worked hard to get but also that strangers have been in your home and through your things which is a horrible feeling too.
Wishing you nothing but the best and I hope you get everything back on track again soon.
HeresTwoAdventure It’s the least I can do. It sounds corny as hell, but Eamon and Bec have helped me though some tough times of my own just by posting their videos and sharing their positivity with all of us ❤️
I wish I could do more than just watching more vids and the ads!
My house was broken into when I was 14. The stuff they took wasn't very important but it's so unsettling knowing someone with bad intentions has entered your space without you even knowing. Very scary and very stressful. I'm so sorry this happened to you guys!
My truck was broken into. Nothing of value was stolen but i 100% agree with you. Its suck a violating and slimey feeling knowing someone was going through your stuff. Especially because you don't know who the fuck it was.
I’ve never been broken into even though I don’t live in a safe city lol, but I would feel very violated and i’ve been thinking about buying a shotgun. Get a gun and protect yourself!
I know this was two years ago….I just discovered you guys through Nate and Cara! I’m so sorry that this happened. One LOVE 💕
Came here to say this too!
I think you were completely in the right feeling how you were feeling. I feel like in this moment in time, we are hyper aware of privilege and all these or offensive things that offend others, however you got robbed girl. You are showing your life for all to see. Trinity is not only a van, She is your home and She was violated and robbed. Cry and wail ... its cool. We all would do the same thing; those things that were stolen were product of your hard work. What shows how resilient you both are is how you deal with the situations that are presented, after the crying.
I look foward to Sundays to watch your videos. Im sending much love to you both. Thanks for sharing your journey and adventures.
For sure. Those who work for what they've earned only to have it stolen by unscrupulous people have a legitimate reason for outage.
It's OK to scream over losing things, especially when you've worked SO HARD for the money to purchase those things. It's heart-breaking and I hate that this happened to you guys.
I don’t know if it’s been said but I immediately thought about having a safe inside your van to store valuables! Sending all my hugs to you 🥺🥺🥺
Only if you bolt it down
Would probably be best to build a hidden lockable spot into the van from the get go.
They have something like this, but the time of the robbery, they were charging the valuable stuff... smartphones, cameras, drones.
This is the best solution! I bolted a safe to the floor in my van, it works well
Bolted safe with holes to allow charging while in the safe. Easy peasy
Having been robbed myself, I understand the initial feelings you showed Bec. You really are just so confused and feel so helpless when it happens.
I remember when my friend broke into my apartment after telling him I was going out of town. I ended up coming home early, to him ransacking my place.
Doesent compare to the time I had a gun pointed at me. Wrong place, wrong time.
You pick up the broken pieces. Grow from the experience, life throws at you, no matter how shitty. You 2 are good people, and it sucks to have it happen to you, especially when you feel like you have authorities working against you.
I have a friend , he went to Israel, he came out of the ocean = his bag 💼 was stolen , no passport , no wallet and NO eyeglasses . He had to wander back into the town, he could not see , did not speak the language , long story short a family took him into their home until he got sorted. Ended up having an incredible experience .
"Bec, I think, is just going to get hammered and we'll figure it out tomorrow." 😅
Sending you love and light as you work through this adversity. Being robbed hurts on so many levels and can take a lot of time to recover from. 💓
You do not need to apologize for your reaction. You live a life of very few things. Losing any one of them has a much greater impact than for someone who has a house full of stuff. Especially since the few items you have are expensive and part of how you earn a living. You have managed this shock extremely well and shown the resilience needed for the future. I am glad there are people like you in this world.
Amazed at how you two are in a crisis. Totally there for each other. What a relationship. Love you guys!
When bec, said she was being dramatic, I laughed because she is so cute. She just got robbed and is still checking herself. You can cry, if you want.
"I ordered a beer" -- the only right choice, Bec. So happy you two are safe 💕
Hey Guys! I'm so sorry for you that this happened to you at your trip in Spain! I am actually German but lived in Barcelona for 1,5 years! Spain is in general a quit criminal country compared to others in Europe! I got robbed there 2 times!!! I'm so sorry I couldn't warn you before... :( A friend of mine also had an rv, he parked it at a parking lot (also in Spain!) had a nice day at the beach & as he turned back his COMPLETE VAN was stolen! Unfortunately there aren't many Spanish people speaking English... I really wish you all the best & hope you can still enjoy vanlife!! Love to you! Joanna 😊☀️👋🏽❤️
"At least the beer tastes good" LOL Bec I just wanted to hug you while you were crying, I don't think you were being dramatic. Even if you were crying over your things - you worked for and paid for those things. And you still have an amazing way to stay positive and make jokes and reflect back on the situation and think you could have been even more positive, that's a powerful energy to encounter in a person and I aspire to gain a level of positivity like that. You guys are good people and didn't deserve this. Thank you for sharing the bad times with us too!
FANS: let's buy their tea, or cookbook, or watch a ton of videos to help them out! We love you, Eamon and Bec! ❤
This is an incredibly kind gesture Andrea. Thank you 🙏❤️
I just realised there is a paid subscription option on this channel. I'm gonna smash Join right now.
I don’t have any money to spend right now but I bought the cookbook when it was first published and for the last week I’ve been watching as many old E&B videos as I can.
Bec, you were definitely NOT overly dramatic. I’m impressed with how well you both are handling this. ❤️❤️
Great idea. I'm getting some chaiwala now!
just bought some tea yesterday before I knew what happened and I'm so glad I did! Can't wait to try it either!
My house has been broken into seven times and robbed of all valuables each - though each time much less. The first time I cried all night. That was the night I became a minimilist, I stopped caring about all my physical possessions. And as you pointed out it was more the broken lock, the broken window, the invasiveness of someone, which wasn't permitted to enter, entering. Keep the positive outlook and this sucks - you have a good positive community following you.
When hauling goods or tools anything in cargo vans it is recommended to use secondary heavy pad locks. They can be welded on to doors in a way that is seem less. Very confident in those locks I know guys who leave vans on the street in Brooklyn.
I am so much proud of my Pakistani brother, Yasir, who helped you at this difficult time. God bless You.
Sami Khan such an awesome man to have helped them!
Feeling so much proud because of Yasir Bhai!!!
Good people are everywhere. :)
I'm from Spain and I feel so sorry to see how things work in my own Country (specially the Police). It's sad, but true... Sorry guys! I would have gladly helped you!
Not true. My daughter and her friends were robbed in Sevilla. They went to the police station and reported it. No problem at all. My car was broken into at another time. I went to the Guardia Civil, they did the report but they didn't want to do a fingerprint kit but I insisted and they did it. We did have to wait with the car because they had broken into around 10 cars in our neighborhood. Each policeman has different duties. They have only one or maybe 2 doing reports even if there are more on duty
@@TH-campremiumaccountuser girl they speak speak Spanish. They spoke Spanish to the people there. They spoke English a lot in the video for people who don’t speak Spanish. Also, why are you trying to sh*t on Canada because it is English speaking? Who cares what language a country is.
“I ordered a beer” 💔😅
Good for u 😂
When Bec said that I almost fell out of my chair laughing! Best line in the whole video!
That was so hylarius
Favorite line followed by “at least the beer tastes good.” 💜🙏
That made me really happy too lol
When I was a teen our house got robbed. The worst thing was watching my mom cry about her wedding ring and sentimental stuff dad gave her. I found out who did it and got everything back but the jewelry
Oh man ... I feel your pain. Literally. I've been there. Gear is such a personal thing and takes years to make the "kit" just right. It's such a violation of home and space. But, you still have your van and clothes and shoes to wear, a bed to sleep in, and your kitchen. And very lucky they dusted for prints, something they won't do here. Sage smudge to clear, then palo sante to bring light energy into your space. (I've learned that security is first priority when I get my next van.) Keep moving forward!
@@jonnieinbangkok what. Why would they fake this.
Great advice. You are so kind. They surely need to sage.
I feel you Bec. Our house was also broken into when we were away and just the realisation that someone not invited and with a negative motive entered the place we call "home and that is so much precious to us" is just hard to digest. It's a pretty hard realisation hitting you on the face. It took me long enough to sleep peacefully without thinking that our house isn't just "ours" and "private" anymore. And i cried myself to sleep for the first few days out of frustration. So i feel you on another level.
Just stay strong lady. Prayers for future safety and health for the both of you and Trinity.
Thank you Maya. Really appreciate the prayers and extra love today. You really hit the nail on the head and it's something that can only really be described like that if you've been through it yourself. I am sorry you had to experience this ❤️
I’m so sorry this happened to you guys. I hope all is well!!!!!
Thank you Sophia! We are doing well and feeling much better 😊. Sending love!
Sorry for your loss and break in. Best wishes for a better tomorrow.
Neither of you over-reacted, you home has been invaded and you feel violated. I'm so sorry this happened to you. I wish had money, if I did I would find a way to get it to you. All I can do is one be thankful neither of you were hurt. Second pray that you get things replaced quickly and you recover from this incident. Sending prayers and love.
I'm so sorry this happened to you guys but so glad you're able to take the positives from it.
The community here is so strong and I'm sure you will be able to resolve all of this. Stay positive ✌
Bec is so cute! “Let’s go home babe”.... “I can’t I ordered a beer” 🥰
Correct priorities LOL
Ronnie-Lynn Dolan hahahahaha yes I would say “right answer”
sometimes that's all you can do-- order a beer!
LOL!!!!! That was funny!
New subscriber! You absolutely were not being dramatic! Having someone enter your home, vehicle, personal space, and steal your things, is such an invasion of privacy! My husband is now a police officer but was active duty Army and we had all of our possessions in a Pod storage while living homes and it was broken into. They stole everything. Our clothes, holiday decorations, my husband’s Army gear and memorabilia, I had quite a collection of handbags-which in the grand scheme isn’t “important”, except that I worked very hard to buy them or they were gifts for milestones on my life or vintage left to me by my grandma that passed away….they took so much. This was in 2014, and I still think about it weekly. It was traumatizing. ❤️❤️
I'm sorry guys ❤ having a security case bolted to the ground and locked under your bed is a good idea for the future. Also, getting security cameras can help you keep tabs on what happens in the van. Make a police report regardless of what they are telling you. File the report. You dont need the serial numbers, that can come in late. The police officers are just being lazy. Wait and file, push for it.
When I was a kid, our flat was broken into. In addition to the financial loss (jewelry, and so forth), and the loss of unreplacable family memorabilia, I remember the deep feeling of our intimacy being violated and our privacy being stomped up. I still remember it vividly, many years later.
This whole thing with “not wanting to care/cry for materialistic thing” is such bull materialistic things have value to a person just as much as a person they have memories they have value hard earned money, time used to purchase those items, GIFTS, all of those things weather it’s something like a tv or a phone to an item of clothing or maybe something passed down through generations it doesn’t matter it’s still a loss and it’s okay to be angry to be upset, to scream and cry however those emotions present themselves is fine
exactly i would've preferred an honest reaction than that bullshit " i don't want you to think i cry for materialistic things " like it's a bad thing! STFU you WERE crying about the loss of those materialistic things too and it's fine like OMG can we stop with this " i'm a better person if i don't care about materialistic things " bullshit like please
Don't forget that phones, laptops, all that stuff has memories stored on them, and they're used to keep connected with family and friends.
It's not just things, it's a whole lot more.
@@ThessaValmy Well you did "see" their honest reaction. So, I'm not sure why you would write that you would've preferred to see it. She is just trying to stay positive, and grateful... She doesn't want to give the people who stole their belongings more than they have already taken... Their spirituality, taking them out of their head space, and from being grateful. If you were enlightened & awake you'd understand that. Be kind, grateful, & offer positive support ❤ Christina & The Animal Love Fest 😽😽😽🐺🐰💋
I know I am late to this party as it is several years later....but I wanted you to know I cried at the beginning over your hurt and the injustice and then I cried at the end over the kindness of others and your true gratefulness. Always remain grateful. This beautiful universe brought the two of you together and and together you brought 'you' to the rest of us. Only great people can have great fans. God Bless. Keeping you in my prayers. xx00xx
I genuinely don’t think Bec over reacted at all
@@Dawgley are you even human? gtfo if you think she did, we dont need you here
@@Dawgley that's really sad of you to say. she was feeling a lot of emotions and this is her reaction. what are you trying to say? we shouldn't share how we felt about the situation? we should bottle up our emotions? im so sorry if that's what you do because that's so unhealthy. i've seen overreaction, and it's nothing like this.
@@peachygig omg it's just her opinion
@dave Sir. You’re opinion is irrelevant. We don’t need your negativity here. Bye.
Avianna Imani 💯
I had someone break in my home while my daughter and I were sleeping and we never even heard him! In time you will feel safe again! This is my one fear for life but you guys handle it like champs! Bec you did NOT OVER REACT I would have gotten passed out drunk! Lol Eamon you are so right KARMA will get them or has already!
Hello how are you doing 😊👋
Wow ! That’s crazy, which is why I have a dog, best alarm system ever, can’t live without a dog anyway, they’re just awesome animals, all animals are , glad those dirtbags didn’t hurt you physically
it was someone close to you, that know when and how you sleep, and how loud they can be, or your a really heavy sleeper, either way im soooo sorry that happened to ya, hope they got what have coming.
Could of been a woman not a man. Sexist
@@jameswcarr3635 it was someone really close that set it up to scare me so I would take an x bf back! Which I didn't! I heard scratching and bang at the door in the back but I thought it was my cats playing.
You made the comment “it’s just stuff “. No, it’s your home and it was violated. I am SO very sorry.
Right
I can so understand Bec's reaction. I'm glad you and Eamon had each other to lean on. I had my apartment broken into and was so thankful my boyfriend was with me, just for the emotional support. I know you guys no longer are part of van life, but I hope you got a security system for the van itself. Even the loud noise would stop robbers from hanging around to see anything else they could steal.
the way they handled this was incredible. even though this was so traumatic and heartbreaking they focused on the positive and i applaud them for that. thank you eamon and bec for showing us how to stay positive and look at the good. we all love you and hope for the best for you two.❤️
Wow, I loved how you explained you know you are privileged... B doesn’t have to apologize for her first reaction. I feel like everyone would be horribly upset... but when you got your wits together and started to figure things out .... got a beer at a cafe you learned you had your health and each other and your van still...
We’ve had our home broken into too. They broke stuff just senselessly. It’s devastating the personal invasive feeling it leaves you. So sorry this happened to you. There are evil people taking advantage of good people. You will recover and be stronger! Keep your courage!
Eamon & Bec, you are both way calmer then I would have been in this situation... I would have lost it! GOD BLESS you both... 🙏🏻
Agreed ☺
Bec said “i ordered a beer” like yas girl you deserve it
So sad that this has happened to you, my heart goes out to you both. I too have been robbed before in my home and lost all my electronics and various personal items and many other thefts over the years, it always feels so violating. We pick ourselves up and rebuild with gratitude for our life and that we live regardless of those who violate our domain. You clearly did not deserve this to happen to you, as you are very kind and loving people. I hope that things rebuild and heal quickly and that you have safe and happy travels in the now. Love and healing
Eamon: "lets go home"
Bec: ".... i ordered a beer"
this is my life
I don’t think your reaction was dramatic! It was real AF. No one should touch your stuff that YOU worked for. Many blessings 😘😘
Never apologize for what you have. You are not privileged, you earned what you have and good on you for living an awesome life! Stay safe and enjoy your travels!
It almost felt painful to hit the like button 😢 but of course it’s out of support!!
cynjim88 I had the exact same thought but totally out of support ❤️
Exactly 💚
Wow I seriously feel this in my core.😣 Maybe 50 or so times, I’ve come home from elementary school to find my family’s home literally in shambles, windows broken, doors kicked in, security system disarmed and/or destroyed. This hit me hard. Watching Bec standing in the van crying really brought those memories back. My heart goes out to anyone who has been through this or something similar💔
I'm just heartbroken. I am just a new subscriber and just saw this video. When Bec started tearing up, it broke my heart. I'm sorry this happened.
You didn’t over react at all!!! Those are your valuable belongings and no one should ever break into your home( in your case this is your van)
Loved watching your videos 💜💜💜 Keep your heads up!! You guys are awesome
this was so raw the ending actually made me tear up! seeing the sweet moment with friends after such a violation
I know this video was awhile ago and I'm late to the party, but just wanted to say, this is another lesson in how life can be so much more beautiful when kindness is given to each other. This was a terrible incident and the thing that made you fell better and find your happiness again was the kindness of others, from the man who sold you the phone to the lovely couple at the end of your video and to the police that actually took your plea seriously. Good people make a good world with less suffering. ✌️❤️
I'm so glad that you have one another to lean on and be there for. Even though it is a difficult thing to share, you guys did it with understanding and strength that not many have. I hope you guys continue to recover mentally and physically and I of course look forward to your journey!!! 🥰
I’ve had my car broken into it’s not the things it’s the invasion of privacy.
True, plus knowing how sick some people are. Don't forget the real robbers hidden behind suits, politicians and other corrupted people.
I am sorry that happened to you. One bad guy can ruin it for the rest of us. Stay positive and know that most of humanity is good❤️for one person who wronged you there are hundreds who will try to do good
That’s a natural reaction. Someone invading your home is just scary.
Look I am an older guy (68) and have had ups and downs in my life, including my house broken into, my car stolen, etc. What I see in the two of you is resilience, fortitude and the fact that you are very savvy. This will pass, it will make you more cautious and aware, and in the end you will grow from this experience. I just started watching you and am more than impressed with you both. I wish you both the best, and envy the hell out of your travels. KEEP SMILING!
Bec your reaction was completely appropriate!!!
