Trailer theft problems not just in Utah
I've just gotten back from 3 weeks in England.
Everywhere I look there trailers, motor homes, motorcycles, are all chained up.
Most trailers and motor homes have boots over the wheels. My boy carries a huge, theft proof chain and lock anytime he plans on parking either the GSXR or Supermoto anywhere but inside his locked garage.
Eastern European's steal everything and have it on a boat in a couple of hours. Goodbye England... Hello Russia...
Using tongue locks, wheel boots, chains, removing the wheels all together and storing them elsewhere are common practice to make it someone else's stuff that gets ripped off.
If the trailer was locked, and the thief wasn't someone who worked at the yard, the thief was prob after the trailer and now doesn't have a clue what to do with the sleds...
I've also been thinking... do you ever hear of the trailers with the real distinctive paint jobs being stolen? Always seems to be the plain Jane white, gray, or black ones that get ripped off..
Who can paint something real ugly, like my face, on my trailer real cheap???
