Time to wire up the hitch when not in use. A little 110v warning couldn't hurt, could it?
Ya Buddy...We think alike!
OP
Electrified hitch protection...I like it!
I've always thought it'd be a good idea to lock the hitch. You can bet there will be one on the new trailer or this one if we get it back. I had one on my travel trailer, a nice Masterlock that fit up inside the hitch with a collar...pretty hard to defeat. Not impossible, but it would have been a serious pain in the butt to get it off if I lost the key.
Thanks everyone for your attention to this!

Probably not anymore. If they took it for the contents it's probably in a river by now. If they took it for the trailer it's probably in a garage being repainted. Hope you find it though. Gonna have to find a way to chain down the next one.
What a mean thing to do! So sorry! I'm also thinking that it already has a new topcoat of paint, tho... the thieves know it sticks out like a sore thumb, they will disguise it right away. I'm just glad they stole it BEFORE you put all the new work and $ into it.

Hey, I'd put something on craigslist to alert people about it, and make sure to include the plate number...

As well as the VIN number so that when they carry the thing to the court house, and if by chance the clerks actually go outside to check the VIN numbers themselves they could see that it's been reported stolen.
Most of the time if you have the title to the trailer in hand with the VIN number they will simply re-issue you a tag, however when folks come in saying they lost their tag, or don't have a VIN number the clerks I think are supposed to go inspect it personally.
When you get it recovered, or replaced. I would be worth the 4 bucks a month to get that baby insured!
