    Wow,

    That's too bad. Good Luck.

    I thought trailers with big graphics were fairly immune from theft because of being so easily recognizable.

    So much for that theory.

    The average life span of a stolen trailer is very short as most are used for mobile meth labs, or some such chemical purpose, and are not usually in public view.. Then they are merely left by the side of the road . . . . . or are blown up accidentally.

    GPS tracking and theft system is about the best way. Not cheap . . . but in comparison?

    Default not easy...

    Faster to just paint over it! If the trailer is going to be used as a drug lab they will probably have it out of sight. I bought my trailer at an Insurance Auction,it had been used as a drug lab and was found (After a snitch turned them in) behind a Barn out in the sticks covered with a big tarp.
