Former Dutch reality television star Rogier Smit has relocated his mobile home after a group of vandals targeted and physically moved his caravan in the middle of the night.
The incident was captured on video and broadcast by the media channel Roddelpraat, showing several young men loudly pounding on the vehicle doors while filming the encounter on a public parking lot without electricity or running water.

Smit later detailed the terrifying ordeal, explaining that he remained hidden inside the structure alongside his pets during the entire confrontation.
"I woke up at three o'clock in the morning when six big guys were pounding on my caravan.
Rogier come out, come snort!" said Smit.
The media figure decided against confronting the group directly before moving the vehicle to an undisclosed location the following morning.
"My dogs were also inside, but we didn't go out and luckily the men left after a few minutes.
What should I have done? First of all, I sleep naked, so it didn't seem handy to go outside," said Smit.
The former television personality has faced severe housing and personal challenges since separating from his former husband, Frank Jansen, leaving him without a permanent residence due to a lack of employment verification.
Smit revealed that he regularly seeks emotional support from a local social service agency in Noordwijk to cope with the mental strain of his current living conditions.
"But luckily I can go to the Stichting Welzijn organization in Noordwijk. I talk to a welfare worker there and that does me good," said Smit.
