Around 04:15 Yesterday morning I awoke to the sound of someone pounding on metal outside my house. I looked out the window in front of my house and didn't see anything, then the pounding stopped and I heard a vehicle drive off. I went to the other side of my house to see if something was going on over there and discovered that the pounding was someone breaking the tongue locks (there were 2) off of my trailer and stealing it.
I hopped in the car to see if I could possibly catch up to them driving down the street, but was just a little too slow to determine where they went. I filed a police report on the trailer and will consult with my insurance agent on Monday, but I suspect that I will never see that trailer again. Though the trailer is an unusual size to see on the road.
The trailer is a White Wells Cargo 4x6 mini-wagon. Inside were 3 tanks, a pop-up canopy and a roll-up camping table. The tanks are 1 Luxfer Purple AL80, 1 Luxfer brushed AL80 and a old red steel 72 with a J-valve. The might have 'R. Cook' written around the neck with a sharpie on them. If any of the local dive shop owners see someone coming in to try to sell these, they are stolen.
Luckily, I wasn't getting ready to go anywhere, as there might have been much more gear in it. Still all in all, I am estimating total replacement value around $3000.
I hope that is turns up somewhere and I at least get the trailer back and they catch the guys that took it. For the people that did this, if they don't get caught, at least I know that their souls will burn in hell for an eternity.
