Chuck, was that a tilt bed? If so, there was a very similar trailer at irwindale Thursday night. I HAVE NO PROOF IT WAS YOURS, and the filthy thief would have
to be pretty stupid to take a stolen racecar trailer to the track. I'm sorry, I didn't get a plate number, but it definitely was not the Ford dually towing it.
Can you give us a foolproof way to i.d. yours?

Yes... is there a way to be SURE it's yours? I'm not likely to find it in Chicago, but you never know & that guy would be praying the cops showed up if I ran across it.

they hit the jackpot when they got me..
they grabbed 5 motors/trans combos we had stacked on pallets,and then various random parts.
they also took a brand new flatbed hauler and a big dual axle boat trailer w brand new tires.
but,they were kind enough to leave me the boat.....which is an inboard luxury cruiser.
needless to say i cant even move it now and will end up cutting it up.

heres wishing you luck in finding your trailer.
personally,i think we should have some form of gps locator devices being sold with these trailers..
track them down using the internet or something.

I remember the 1st post, a while back now

no leads ? no recovery ?,
that sucks

I hope the insurance made it good
hopefully the mini storage had insurance to cover it
if yours didn't

almost nothing worse than a f---ing thief

good luck

Dang, sorry to hear you had a run in with f'ing thieves too. About tracking devices...I seem to recall seeing some device about the size of 50-cent piece online somewhere that you could track via the internet (?). I have considered putting something like that on my car...sort of a poor-man's lojack. You can't disable the car, but you can find it.

That's a crying shame. I've been through this with a stolen car before. You are required to have insurance, but when you file a claim they offer you 1/2 of what it's worth.

The insurance companies are in the business of taking money from you, NOT giving any back to you. It makes sense as a business, but it sure does suck when you're the consumer.

Exactly I've been with AAA for 30 years, real eye opener...they offered me 4k for the trailer really laughable and sent me a link to some rusted out trailer in Nebraska with nothing on it and valued the winch on our trailer at $35.00 WTF Really!!!
