Hey Guys ....

sometime last night someone took my BigTex 22GN 30+5 gooseneck trailer from my office at Pompano Beach Florida

vin 16VGX3024H6082891

In the trialer world a kinda unique setup .... double dually axles, 30 foot deck w. full 5 foot ramps ( not many of them get made/ sold and or pp are willing to pay up for )

what makes mine unique
A, it was a 5th wheel setup ( not ball - gooseneck )

B, just re-decked it w. Marien grade PT actual 2"x10" Lumber ( bc of that, lumber is now 1/2" above deck rails )

C, unique and old Decals on the back of ramps

Its not a small item to hide and can be only towed by a semi truck ot dually truck w. 5th wheel hitch setup .... so it cant go to fare ...........

few photos ... and per rule w. EB

thanks

Franko

ps; you wana help others as much as you can and then chitt like that happens ............ ANY info on it let me know or

call Broward sheriffs office 954-786-4201 /// BSO CASE NUMBER 11-24-10-004769

sorry to hear about this buddy of mine had his car hauler stolen and the first thing they did was repaint it and he actually saw it going down the road called the police and ended up getting it back. They also took a grinder to the Vin number on the tongue of the trailer. I hope you get it back.

well that sucks. very beefy trailer for sure so i'd guess someone is thinking hauling heavy equipment. any cameras for the yard to get some intel?
YES i have multi camra / multi angle footage of it. but not much to see .......... dark dually truck backed up under it ( 5th wheel setup, driver didnt get out ) and peeled out to get it moving ... didnt bother to rais the trailer drop legs and or hook up the lights.
the suck part is i cant get a new same spec BigTex for 6-8 weeks but this time w. elec. ramps.
the positive .... it gone saves me a ton of money replacing 8 very expesive trailer tires ............

also what the best hidden small tracking devices on the marked for trailers / personal watercrafts aso ?

Lojack works well but can be expensive. Check with local tote-the-note car lots; many of them put trackers on their cars to aid in repo. Maybe they can lead you in a direction that will be cost effective. I'm sure you would have to rig up a battery system for it.

Sorry humans,but karma comes around.

I use a Company that has worked well for me.

They have hard wired and battery included trackers that you can stick-on with Magnets on trailers, etc. I'm using 2 of them and they are about $16.00 a month, no extra purchase price or contract.
