The Midwest appears to be a hotbed, with the top five states for snowmobile thefts being Minnesota (190), Michigan (103), Wisconsin (72), Alaska (62) and New York (47).

 

I don't think a person has to be an actuarian/statistician to figure that out. Those states, probably have the highest number of registrations as well.

In Ontario I would be willing to bet that the most sled thefts are the ones on or in trailers stolen in Southern Ontario. I think most thieves around here are far to lazy to want to lift or manually move a sled.

Oh - fer sure!

 

Way too many cases of the new truck, trailer, and 4 sleds all comes up missing in one fell swoop!

 

(I was just explaining this to my boy the other day) that Hornepayne used to have a cable out back to lock your sled to overnight - that's why I have a padlock in my kit.

Don't think I have ever actually used it tho.

 

Too often one would be found - usually out of gas - somewhere out on the res.

I guess there's a res close by....
