Chris S Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 In Philly they take the truck and the trailer locked or not. East Coast Shite BB!!! I get made fun of out here in Kansas for the lock on the hitch pin and trailer, I even have a lock on my spare trailer tire!! I fished Silver Lake, DE and use to even back the trailer up to a post!!! On a side note I bought and sold a few trailers in DE and sold them to MD folks because they can get a homemade title in MD with a bill of sale! 1 Quote
Super User webertime Posted August 27, 2015 Super User Posted August 27, 2015 Most us are hunters anyway and have a trail cam or 10... I have a buddy that brings a trail cam to some ramps to watch his truck/trailer. Quote
Ski213 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 A good agent should ask. True. I'm glad mine did. The good news for him is that he was able to convince the insurance company to cover it. He told me about it the other day. I think he has all his coverage through the one carrier and threatened to cancel all his policies. They finally agreed to replace the trailer. The trail camera thing is a good idea but I've always figured they'd just steal it as well if they see it. I wish I had one up out back last week when someone decided that I didn't need my weed eater and chainsaw anymore though. Quote
MidwestF1sh Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 That's why I never go anywhere without a lock on my trailer. I've heard it happen a few times. Sounds like a HUGE inconvenience Quote

Not exactly sure why you singled out Silver Lake, but that's my home lake and i've never had a problem with anything here.. Quote
Basspro3106 Posted September 4, 2015 Posted September 4, 2015 My buddy's truck got broken in to and had about .67 cents stolen from it. the busted window cost him 200.00. now he leaves his car unlocked and windows down. Quote

I had a thousand dollar sound Staten in my soft top soft window jeep. One night at work someone slashed all the windows and didn't bother to steal a thing. You'll never stop a thief. If they want it they'll take it. Quote

Had a friend in Los Angeles who always left his soft-top Renegade's doors unlocked. I asked him why-especially with this being Los Angeles and all- and he said they'd just cut it right open if they wanted in. And then he'd be out a top in addition to whatever they stole. Messed up world we live in. Quote

I ended up putting a note on my dash that read," its unlocked take the sub, don't slash my windows" Quote
Super User Further North Posted September 7, 2015 Super User Posted September 7, 2015 I know my trailer, Trailstar with numatic brakes, has no provision for a lock when it is attached to the truck. The only way I can lock it at home is with the lock type that takes the place of the ball and locks in there. Dumb design flaw imo, but I guess that is what insurance is for; even though it doesn't cover the inconvenience of some dbag stealing someones stuff they worked hard for. I have a Trailstar...you can run a lock through the hole for the pin on the latch for the ball Quote
UPNORTHMICH Posted September 7, 2015 Posted September 7, 2015 I know anytime we haul a trailer whatever it may be we padlock right behind the latch making it difficult to pull off the ball. My two cents Quote
