Default Trailer STOLEN

I don't even know if I can do anything, but I figured I would post it up it just to vent...

Cliff notes:
8' x 20' enclosed
light champagne exterior
dual axle

Parked at my office - 9207 Palm River Road (always lots of bike stunters out back after hours and on the weekend). Last seen Friday, July 5th at 1pm, noticed missing today around Noon. One defining characteristic is the weight distribution connectors were welded onto the tongue, and they were welded in the wrong place the first time so there are markings from that...

license plate is/was 625 IWU

F#%K, I'm pissed!

That sucks bro, trailers are are in demand for thieves. Definatily report it, those trailers have several identifing #'s on them in a few places. Its not your ordinary white trailer so it will turn up pretty quick. Hopefully there wasnt nothing in it, that really pisses them off. a neighbor to the in-laws lost a big trailer with like (4) four wheeler and (4) bikes all race stuff, tools equipment, ect right out of thier driveway.

The fastest way to be recovered is by having GPS installed.

luckily there is video of them leaving the scene.. I can't get the info because it is from the company behind us that does some US Govt Defense work, but the sheriff might be able to get. I asked the company if they had the tape from this weekend and they said yes, but said I couldn't have it...

What is crazy is last night I was reading through these threads and saw yours, and I was going to offer to go get my trailer and come pick up your Ranger... I wonder if my trailer was still there last night?

As far as the locks go, they only keep the honest people honest...seriously The niehbors trailer had all the above. The safety chains were used to drag his out of there.

The sheriff said he went over there, so I will call tomorrow to follow up on it. If he doesn't then I will call them. Thanks for the info.

That sucks to hear.
+1 on the GPS tracking modules.

I pity the fool that takes one of our vehicles.. I'm not calling the police until I get through with them.

For $400 they sell you the unit. Then for $26 month you can monitor it on a website. It shows your vehicle on a map and looks just like Mapquest. Shows the speed of the vehicle as well and movement in real time. Its about the size of a pack of cigs so you can hide it almost anywhere. Uses a rechargable battery pack that you hook up to your battery in the car. Better then Lojack.
