NXfedRam Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 (edited) My dads 16ft aluma tandem axle tilt car trailer was stolen out of his backyard near the Hoover Dam Maxtown rd. area last week. Please keep a look out. Also a reminder to invest in a trailer lock to keep this from happening to you. Here's the best picture I have of it http://i89.photobucket.com/albums/k220/bad98sst/image.jpg1_zpsxo5s16ep.jpg Edited March 22, 2015 by NXfedRam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigOxley Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Do these come with VINs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bam Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Damn, sorry to hear. Nice looking trailer, hope it shows up somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 That sucks. My 18' Sloan Kwik Load was stolen about 2.5 years ago. Columbus PD found it several months later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NXfedRam Posted March 22, 2015 Author Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Do these come with VINs? They do. The police informed him that despite the fact that it's a $6k plus trailer it would more than likely be cut up and scrapped for a few hundred dollars for that reason Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not Brian Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 chances would be slim they'd ever find it anyways.. not like they go around checking trailer VINs in their spare time. But hey, if I see something like that, I'll let you know. Maybe posting the VIN here would help? off topic but how did he load the ATVs like that? Roll them up over the side?

Ride them up ( trailers not that tall) or lift the tires up onto them from the side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wnaplay1647545503 Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 Trailers are so easily stolen. If under the weight requiring a title you simply need nothing other than. $3 weigh slip to get a tag. Unless you happen to see your own stolen trailer out and about thieves feel pretty confident to use them without recourse. You could steal a trailer and get your own tag from the bmv within 10 mins time and be on your way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted March 22, 2015 Report Share Posted March 22, 2015 I was told that mine was going to be chopped up and scrapped; not quite the case. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Limitedslip7 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 I just had a small 4x7 stolen too... it seems as soon it starts to warm up a bit the thieves come out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ImUrOBGYN Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Were any of these stolen trailers secured or just sitting there waiting to be towed away? If any were secured, in what way were they secured? Thanks in advance to those who answer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Limitedslip7 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 Mine was unsecured, but tucked away in a secluded dead-end alley. My next one will be VERY well secured. Speaking of which, would anyone happen to have a 6x10 or 6x12 enclosed trailer for sale? Or know of any good trailer dealerships around that I could check out.

RS69 Posted March 23, 2015 Report Share Posted March 23, 2015 (edited) I keep my trailers locked in a building and don't leave them outside. I just made a lock to put in the tongue but haven't used it yet. I am kind of surprised to hear that trailers are getting stolen right from the truck(at least in Houston recently). I am in process of purchasing a lock for on the truck. Thieves are pieces of crap. Edited March 24, 2015 by RS69 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm short on cash this week but I've got 14 mint-condition .40 cal hollowpoints, although the brass casing wouldn't be included :masturboy: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Berto Posted March 24, 2015 Report Share Posted March 24, 2015 Yeah I use a gorilla tongue lock, I also have a pin lock on it. I also plan to run a chain through the spokes between 2 wheels. Maybe even back to one of the trees. Not guaranteed but makes it harder. Also make note when you are hauling your trailer make sure to get a lock for the receiver pin. And to further my OCD, use a receiver that the ball is welded on (like the 3 ways). I needed a small drop hitch so I ended up using a regular thread on ball but I welded a big washer at the bottom of the threads. If not they could just pop the ball off and make way with your trailer and everything you have on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
