sorry to hear, getting things stolen sucks so bad. hope they recover it for you in good shape. its true though the penalties for stealing are very minor.

Thanks Guys , Lets all learn from this I did , Lock your Hitch & Trailer at all times, There I was standing with my two kids and totally helpless, I beach my V next to the Marina all night, needless to say I did not sleep all night worrying if I will see it this morning thank god all is well.
I did file a police report, unfortunately I have no insurance on the the Trailer my loss, I just purchase a new 2008 double axle with all disc brakes, I am still too bitter about the loss, hopefully it will pass. Since I moved to Florida from NY for security and peace this is my second loss in Florida, the last time it was my laptop from my truck !
I will keep an eye on Ebay and Craigslist hopefully I net the worms..
PS. The new trailer is now insured by Geico

I feel for ya. Thing that bothers me most is that whoever did it has to know how bad they are sticking it to you.

We had this discussion here a couple of years ago and the best piece of advice I heard was to just make your trailer harder to steal than the next guys. Since then I've been using a look on the ball and a cable lock through the wheels on on side.

Just as a word to the wise from someone who did it for a living, when economic times get tough, the sh!t comes out of the cracks. More and more who are those borderline two leggers rather steal than go with out and the junkies and all their bretheren start getting more desparate.
Thefts, burglaries, robberies start going thru the roof in times like this so take the extra precautions you would not have deemed necessary two years ago.

I like the policy of two eyes for an eye.
