The strongest proponents for the status quo pull a box, I gather?The two situations are not comparable. If you don’t make a habit out of parking next to every gypsy camp ever, you will not have the same problem with theft, as you would have with clandestines trying to get into your trailer even while in the bloody lanes queueing to board!
And for theft there is insurance, the company or the driver don’t face a big financial loss.
Whereas in this situation, the inability of the french to police their own territory means the responsibility is shifted to the weakest link. And it seems that there’s nothing wrong with that, as some of the folk affected seem to cheer on. I’m alright Jack isn’t it?
For what it’s worth, I normally pull a tautliner on cross channel work.

Goods in transit are not stolen by any one group, as you may be suggesting.
Since this section of the discussion seemed to start with you taking offence at what you perceived (I think wrongly) to be a racial slur, maybe a bit of self reflection is called for?
