stolen trailer

[Stu Olson]

I guess some assbag liked my ol' trailer better than I did. :(

If you see it being towed around, call 911 and report it. The police report is already on file. I doubt it the moron who took it is stupid enough to run the same license plate, but then again, you never know for sure. Some folks come out of the very shallow end of the gene pool.

I had it custom made 14 years ago when my '89 XJ was new. It has seen duty doing just about everything you could imagine.

Is that spot where it was stolen from? I chain mine to a tree!! With permanent plates, thieves love them.

[Renob]

Sorry Stu but I don't see any locks on that thing..........easy pickings. Hope you get it back.

[PMFG!ItsaGP]

Mine stay behind the locked gate, with a coupler lock and a chain thru the spokes on the wheels. The chain works damn good too. ;)

[rockwerks]

Stu I will be on the look out for it up in Flagstaff. Hope it turns up for you

Nothing too special about the trailer. The wheels came from a Cherokee. The tail gate consists of three drop in 2x10" boards. The axle is set up spring over. The spare tire was not on the trailer when it was stolen. In the picture, it was just sitting there (there is no mounting bracket for it).

It use to sit in the side yard but was beneath a tree that dropped tons of leaves which caused rotting and rusting issues.

I wouldn't think anyone would be dumb enough to use the permanent plates given that they are reported stolen, but I guess it is possible.

Thanks all,

Stu

Sorry for your loss.

When I had a utility trailer, I put a U Lock thru the rim holes and around the leaf spring.

[jbjarko]

I'll keep my eyes out on the west side.

Sorry Stu.

[Allen]

I'll keep an eye out in the boonies here! Where was it taken from?

[Scramblin_Jim]

Sorry for the loss. I'll keep a watch out on the far west side.

[Antman]

Sorry Stu. I didn't mean to appear critical. It was just the way it was sitting in the picture, that made me comment.

I am sure I'll draw some other comments when I say that it was probable taken by some illegal who is just starting a yard service business.:rolleyes:

I will also be on the look out for it.

[Stu Olson]

My money is on it becoming one of the hundreds of trailers I see heading west out of the valley every morning. They are going to the new housing developments with supplies for working on some part of the house for the day.

Thanks to everyone for keeping an eye out for it. It is appreciated very much.

My money is on it becoming one of the hundreds of trailers I see heading west out of the valley every morning. They are going to the new housing developments with supplies for working on some part of the house for the day.

They then fill the same trailer with appliances and copper wire stripped from those houses and haul it back in. Bastages! :mad:

[aszaunmi]

I am in East Mesa and will keep a look out.

Good luck finding it....

[BLACK YJ]

i drive around the valley all day long. today i thought i saw it on 49ave and thunderbird. i turned around and went for a better look. no dice it was a little longer and had a triangle box on the front. ill keep my eye out.

[SavageSun4x4]

Stu,
I know your frosted on this, as is anyone who has personal property stolen. Most likely you will never see it again, but hopefully the moon is in your favor and it will be found.

[John in AZ]

That sucks Stu. I will look for it also.
To those of you who think a lock through the wheels work good I had my new 16 foot tandem stolen with one of those real nice cable lock things ran in one tire & out the other through the frame so if they want it enough they will figure out a way.

[Frisbie]

Antman is correct.You can spot your trailer at a dump or transfer station somewhere in the valley.Behind a pee-kup.

Topic resurrected!

I saw a trailer similar to this on the way to work this morning. Only difference was the sides had steel mesh rather than wood. It had the angle over the tails, which is the key trait that I was looking out for. I figured it wasn't the same trailer because I didnt' remember it having mesh sides. I'll keep my eyes peeled. It was black, and full of landscaping equipment. I don't know how common it is to have the triangles over the tails, but this one certainly did. By the way this was comming out of fountain hills...
