Stolen Trailer #82

[rleng1]

Randy, my trailer now requires a $5,000.00 deposit.

Al said that this was coming.

Sorry to hear it Dan. Why isn't it covered by insurance? Was it not on a separate policy? Sounds like I may just stick with my hail damaged trailer since nobody wants it.

[Al Fernandez]

That sucks Dan...sorry to hear it.

Good thing Costas posted his wheels for sale more than a day before the camera caught the theft or he would be looking pretty suspicious... :-)

Also gone: Log book. 'cause getting through tech isn't fun enough normally...

HEY! I resemble that comment! Sorry to hear that Dan, I'll split it with you after my fence gets a cut!

Sorry to hear about the trailer Dan.

On a side note (Dan or Randy) - John George is selling his 28' Haulmark. Some photos here: http://www.facebook.com/chicane23?ref=ts&fref=ts

We replaced the trailer with a pimped out Haulmark from Country Side Trailer Sales. They are just north of Houston in Spring. Talk to Tommie 281 353 7858. Good people, good selection. They showed me 3 different 24' car haulers.

Below is a photo of Richards idea for trailer theft deterence (he doesnt get many opportunities to design stuff out of heavy steel plate for the space shuttle). Works great as long as you have a fork lift available to install and remove it. Nothing says "go find a easier trailer to steal" to a thief better than 1 1/2" steel plate.

Awesome.

[AllZWay]

That is great.

BTW.. I am still searching the internet vigorously for your stuff so I can buy it cheap.

[GlennCMC70]

Weld on some angle tabs on the botton w/ U bolts and locks. Doesn't need to be bolted to the concrete, just needs to look like it is.

Got a weight on that? I can buy a forklift cheaper than a trailer.

[Rob Liebbe]

I hope that works but you'd be surprised how hard they will work to steal stuff. You may have just increased their payout with all that free scrap steel. How much does that weigh anyhow? Whe have had 200-300 lb steel items stolen from our office. I've also talked to a machine shop that had heavy steel stolen from behind a 10' tall chainlink fence. They used a tow truck or a cherry picker to gain access and lift the steel over the fence.
