The gentleman I share my buisness property lease with had his enclosed trailer Stolen last night. We were just getting it ready to use. Used 7 by 18 v nose. Tandem axle white. Only stickers are for trailers of the east coast And "look" brand logos. Thirty day tag.
Stolen from 115 Carpet Rd Statesville. We are just getting ramped up and I just went fultime self employed. Planning on more info about Warriorwelding to be put in vendors category. Any help or leads would be great.
Owners name is Steve Plowman Carolina Emergency Equipment and Lighting. Thanks.
 
Report was filed with Police. No leads. No trailer. Thieves suck. Wandering if a video camera or three is needed? No fence. Off I 40 but not highly visible from it or Hwy64. You can see the front show room area side of building but that is all. Already have two large outdoor light poles burning. Building has alarm and motion detection. Any advice short of a big chain link fence with pets inside. Stuff inside is insured but dang what a hassle.
 
Considered installing some cameras and good motion lights? Large gated fences help out as well.

There so many ways to slow down a vehicle theft but trailers are a whole different story. I like to keep mine ugly and distinguishable with plenty of pics tucked away. I've ran chains through the wheels before when I had to leave them on the job sites downtown Durham. But that would only slow down so much if someone really wanted it.

I like my gooseneck better just for the fact there's not near as many gooseneckers out there in the low life scum world.

Got any pictures to post?
 
Camera system with sensors that:
Alerts you that it picked up motion so you can view online
Announces something along the lines of "thank you for visiting after hours, please come back between x and x, all activity is being recorded and viewed remotely".
Hopefully the last part discourages the lazy opportunist.
 
There has got to be a local trailer thief near there. The business before you,Carpet Distributors, had either a 53' or 48' 18 wheeler trailer stolen. I'd say add a camera or 3 and set out some bait.
 
Update. No trailer. Tongue had 2 locks. Looking at cameras and more lighting. Found out trailer was used in robbery on the same night at a local John Deere dealer. James river equipment had mowers stolen. Get this: they were in crates. Taken out assembled and loaded on film. All pictures are supposed to be to blurt to make any type of ID. I say inside job or some serious planning. Supossedly a day before they were packed four high not easy to get too. Orders was given to rearrange the weekend they get stole?? The last is hearsay but it was used in another crime up the road.

He had initiative, he was cleaning up without being asked to do it.:D
 
Another John Deere dealer has been hit, I guess the trailer is getting used!
 
a friend of mine owns a large construction business. He installed a high dollar security camera system. One of which overlooks the yard (the lot where all the equipment is stored). One morning he came to work to find a trailer and a bobcat missing.

When he reviewed the footage the trailer was there, then gone as if it were abducted by aliens.

The lesson here is to make sure your sample rate on video data storage is less than 3 minutes because thats all it took to break the chain holding the gate shut, back the truck in, hook up and take off.

all the $$$ spent on that high dollar cam system was useless without the right sample rate.
