At least the car wasnt in the trailer at the time, its going to be nearly impossible to track done the parts if they are out of the trailer..
Best idea I've heard for recovering a stolen trailer - paint your cell number (big) on its top. Would-be thieves won't see it, and a reported stolen trailer can easily be ID'd from the air by any cops patrolling the air. Won't do any good in this case apparently - I hope you find it and the parts.
Don't wait for your stuff to get stolen, act now to protect yourself. If it's easy for you to hook-up and go, then it's easy for everybody. Trailers have electric brakes, use an alarm that activates the brakes, and can be heard more than 500 feet. Park a vehicle in front of it. Mark the trailer on the roof with reflective tape. Don't be a chump. Transporting meth, coke, mexicans, and weed is a full time job, and they need trailers almost every day. Don't contribute to the mob. Take a picture of the trailer, take a picture of the special marks you made to ID it from the hundreds of thousands of other trailers on the road.
The cell phone number idea is the best trick I have heard in years.I'll be doing that to all my trailers this week.

Yep, my friends 36' "toy box" was stolen last year. the police eventually found it in rural east San Diego county; the tweekers had turned it into a meth lab!!! Luckily, his buggy and quads were not in it, but all the kids toys, bicycles, etc were. Those shitheads took a sledge hammer to all the kids stuff. To boot, they "decorated" the entire trailer with satanic shit via spray cans. Pieces of shit are doing big time at least! Get this, the insurance co. wanted to clean up and rebuild everything and hand it back. Since he sometimes camps in Baja, Mexico, he declined, figuring the last thing he needed was a drug dog at the border picking up a whiff of meth on that thing.
Thanks to all the ideas if you all could just keep your eyes open be on the look out for any 69 camaro parts that are bright red. These parts were just painted ........

Paint on the roof of all your trailers with white reflective paint.( so it can be seen at night by the choppers and not the theifs) paint your trailers ID number on the roof/.. reason i say dont paint your phone number is...do you really want some theif to have your number? (if they see it) or some tweeker? When you tell the cops that your rig was stiolen remind yourself to let them know the top of the trailer has reflectant numbers on the roof and what the sequence of numbers represent.. news helicopters, Cop copters, and even the dudes on the 3rd floor will be able to see it..the street light will show it..the choppers lights will show it..and even a flash light might show it.. just an idea..nothings fool proof..but the more blocks you put in the way, the better off you are
thanks i cant tell you what i have done to my 16' open car hauler to keep it from being stolen..or if it is, how i will be able to track it..but one of the ideas is simmular to the reflective paint idea. and right now i pitty the poor fool that would try to steal it, because its loaded with about 7000 pounds of wood! and secured in my back lot
Here is an article that I wrote last year for a magazine. It has a few ideas in it. http://www.trailer-alarms.com/article.htm Lyle
I'll keep my eyes out I run service from Waco to South padre, even got a course in your kneck of the woods, Spring Valley. Hope somebody sees it.
