Please post if you have gotten a recovery or theft story where the thieves were caught? Just curious. Thanks

You can likely guess as many factors for these thefts as I can and the end goal may not always be money. Our TT was stolen (out of our back yard) & recovered a short number of miles from our home in a dead-end street near RR tracks. The trailer was trashed and appears to have been a temporary place to live. Based on materials in the trailer when recovered it was, IMO, very likely being used to manufacture drugs.
You can read the long story and comments regarding our TT theft by clicking "Search" on this site and enter "Stolen 195RB." The incident occurred during May 2017.
On the replacement trailer we purchased, we keep a Proven Industries trailer coupler lock attached when stored.
