These guys have done this before and are probably following us (car people) around. My guess they know collector cars well and are members on many car sites. The best we can do for now is to make yourself a univiting target. I always would use numerous locks in plain veiw and no advertising of what's inside.

Plain trailer or not; these guys are at venues where prized, high dollar cars are present. They probably watch you load and know EXACTLY what is in each trailer.

------You could also say that an unadorned (by any artwork) trailer would give you less to describe to the police if the worst did happen. I would, however, stop short of announcing exactly what was inside as some guys have done.........Bill S

The thiefs have been doing this at the bike gigs like Bike Week ans Sturgis for years.Many beleive it is the bike gangs that come to enjoy the gig and steal some bikes. They usually have a wharehouse they are using or a rig parked somewhere waiting to accept the stolen bikes. I know someone who got to see the survalence video of her bike getting ridden out of the hotels "secure" parking at the Love Ride in Los Angeles. These thiefs are usually well organized so that car and trailer were probably pulled into a building inside of 10 min of being stolen and loaded into another truck .That is why they are so bold , they have a plan. You have to be super careful these days .This absolutley sucks !

Unfortunitly,nothing has been found. There has been a few leads from people in the vicinity that are being checked. Tony and Todd wanted me to thank everyone for the calls with info.They also can not believe that everything vanished so quick. Tony has promised $25,000 CASH for the return intact of the cars/truck/ trailer no questions asked or $10,000 for information that leads to arrest . Call Tony at 815-955-9023 or Todd 815-207-545.
Once again,I am posting as a friend and to let know what happened. Any questions or info call them.

Ask them to post pics of the vehicles. (or send one of us an email for use to do it for them) Words are great in the description but this group here could keep an eye out if truck/trailer/cars are seen. You'd be surprised how small this world really is. Just my .02cents

Good call...I always check out truck & trailer combos when I see 'em on the road, just as a passing interest...and I'd say most other car guys do as well.

I think that I have some pics of my old ls6 somewhere and can post them if need be.If it's my old car it's a very nice fathom blue,white stripe car,black bench seat.Of course it may be another car that Todd also has,but it sounds like my old car that I sold to him.I have not gotten in touch with him yet to see if in fact it was my old car.
