catinental couch Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I'd like to get ahold of the thieves before the cops do. Were they insured? Hope you get them back intact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gobills Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Buggers... that sucks on the little one. I'm in the same boat if my little one gets stolen. No one will insure it. Hope you can find the stuff. Best of luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Trailer is unique enough it should be easy to spot on the road and large enough it may be tough to hide. When caught part of the punishment should be that the victim gets to just take whatever the thief has of comparable value and keep it even if the sleds and trailer are recovered. Unfortunately today they never get much more than a slap on the wrist. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

revrnd Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Sucks about the theft. After knowing 2 other chaps that had their trailers stolen from their yards, I'd be leery of storing sleds in them. One fellow had his empty trailer stolen from his driveway. It was never found. The 2nd guy lost his trailer from his yard. It & a stolen pickup were found abandoned in a filed near Nestleton. Thieves had punched a hole in the side of the trailer. He figured when they found out there wasn't any sleds they had no use for the trailer or truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lastzrt Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Sucks about not being able to insure the mini sleds too. If I remember when we had the Z120, they said it had to be insured as a vehicle because it had a VIN#, but it could not be insured as a vehicle because it was not licensed like a larger snowmobile.....

02Sled Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Thieves.... this is the one thing I like about some of the middle east law. You steal and you lose fingers or a hand. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/middleeast/iran/9831727/Iran-unveils-finger-amputating-machine-for-use-on-thieves.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Baylaker Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Every year around this time somebody is getting a sled or 2 swiped from them. Sorry to hear, hopefully you get them back in one piece. My sled is in garage, trailer parked in driveway with 2 locks on it. I've thought about drilling into the concrete floor in garage to install some sort of an anchor that I can lock my sleds up to...

02Sled Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Last year in the southern Georgian Bay area thieves were walking into a persons yard, picking the sled up and silently carrying it away even while people were in the house/cottage. I lock everything. When I was working the sled trailer was behind a 10 foot high security fence, with 18 cameras around the outside of the building and 24 hour on site security. It was one of the perks of the job. Even then the ramp door was padlocked. When it's in my driveway there are two locks on the coupler, typically one of the vehicles is backed up to within a foot of the trailer body, not just the tongue, a lock on the ramp even though it's backed up a foot from the garage door and there's a clamp lock on the wheel. When towing the hitch draw bar is locked to the truck and the coupler also has a lock securing it to the hitch. Call me paranoid I don't care. Too many damn thieves out there.

For the cost of coupler locks, hitch and padlocks it's well worth the peace of mind! Your spending thousands on a sled and trailer...$100 is nothing for a few locks. The wheel lock is my next purchase. I also back right up to the trailer...if they want it bad enough, they'll get it. The locks just slow them down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catinental couch Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 Locks are only for honest thieves but sometimes slows them down enough that someone may notice. It can also deter them into looking for easier pray. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can also deter them into looking for easier pray. Agreed... make it hard enough for them and they will hopefully go somewhere else. If one of our trucks are in the driveway there isn't any way they can get the trailer out without moving the truck first. Not enough room between the rear of the trailer and the garage wall, the front of the body (not the tongue) of the trailer and the truck bumper to turn it and pull it out. The house and front porch are on one side of the trailer and our neighbours car which never moves is on the other side. Blocked in on all 4 sides. A friend of ours pulled his aluminum fishing boat out for the winter and put it upside down in his yard with a substantial chain around a tree. He figured it would be safe. He came back in the spring and damn if the crooks hadn't got his boat. They cut the tree down. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

02Sled Posted November 16, 2016 Share Posted November 16, 2016 I met a couple at the Snowcrest Pancake breakfast two years ago. They had their enclosed trailer and two sleds stolen from one of those fenced and gated storage facilities. I hate thieves Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
