Well, I never thought I would see the day. Henry got a phone call from both our trailer dealer and the police - they have busted a theft ring in the next county over and our 48' Featherlite trailer was recovered. Here's a link to the press release: http://www.jcso.org/pressreleases/06202001.htm

Lovely folks.... and an interesting assortment of property.

Anyway, we are contacting the insurance company to let them know they now own this 2000 model. It did not travel far. I'd like to go take a look at it - I am assuming its still in good shape as they were going to sell it.

Before we talk to the insurance company, I thought I should post something here. The trailer is set up for 2 Vipers. WINCH, 25' awning, e-track, easy loading ramp (no blocks of wood or 2x4s necessary. Land line, prewired for AC, roof vents, spare tire, triple axle, loading lights, 3 hi wattage exterior lights, 8 flourescent lights inside,and 8 small 12V lights inside. I know there is more -we have complete specs and prices. If any of you are interested or know of someone that may be, I'd be willing to bet that the insurance company MAY be willing to let it go fairly cheaply ($28K 1 year ago new) still under 3 yr warranty from Featherlite... We'd be happy to help.

Never thought we'd see it again. Well, arrests have been made and perhaps some justice will come of this. Thanks to all who helped when we posted that the trailer was stolen.

Glad to hear they found and busted the jerks who stole your trailer. That is certainly a rarity nowadays.

I'm sure your insurance company will be happy that they can recoup some of the loss. At least they took good care of you.

I was just thinking the other day whether something had happened on the trailer - that's too funny with their pictures posted there too! Hopefully the whole episode won't much impact your insurance...

Great to hear Janni!

I wish I could find my D6 CAT tractor that got stolen a few years back. It's probably clearing deer leases in South Texas. I'd also like to find the mechanic that got it running to load it on the truck. I might have a real job for him...

Janni,

Great News, I thought it would have never been found. Can you find out what the Insurance Company is asking for the Trailer and e-mail me the price.I was very impressed by your trailer I saw at Mid Ohio.

That's great news Janni. I hope they send those guys to the slammer for a long stay. All I need is a big turbo diesel truck, your old trailer and some big real estate to park them in and I could trailer my car to work everyday.

They look like people that hang out in the Jerry Springer Show. I bet they can't count past 20! Good thing they were caught! I hate thieves! Janni, I'm happy for you.

Hi Janni. We wondered why Henry and you did not show up at Gingerman. Glad to hear you are okay and hope the jerks that stole your trailer get what they deserve. . .TIME IN THE SLAMMER!
Hope to see you in Orlando for the Rendezvous. I will call you this week regarding details.
