Default ATTN: Black TrailerMan racecar trailer stolen last night!

We had a black trailerman race car trailer stolen from my dads shop off of 45 and calvacade last night. It is a black trailer with a built in toolbox, I will try and upload some pics in a little while. Please keep on the lookout for one, thanks!

Are there any markings / damage that make this stand out from other trailers?

Plate #?

I will keep my eyes peeled.

There is a large MillerTime Racing sticker on the back of the toolbox, the paint is a faded black. I will get the plate number and the trailer number soon, I have to go to class right now.

I'll keep an eye out.. I'd put money on somebody followed you home from HMP... same thing happened to me a couple years ago, except my car was still on it... That's one reason why I refuse to go to that track anymore.

We haven't been to HMP for a couple of weeks now. It stays in the yard of my dad's fenced off shop, people driving by can see it. We always squeeze it in to where it would be hard to get out with a car. But apparently they took out the gate and had some guys with them that turned the trailer around and then took off with it. I just saw a strange craigslist ad that had a 20ft. trailer for sale by trailerman but it was just flagged for removal? That is pretty suspicious.

Did you get the number off of the ad? I would call and act interested.

Yeah, sounds exactly like what happened to me. Heard from several friends at the PD that a snitch gave them nicknames of two guys from HMP... They never did anything about it though.

I could not get the number from the ad because it just said flagged for removal. I hate thieves, this is ridiculous.

Texas license # 51YJDS The trailer has weight distribution brackets welded on the front tongue on both sides. There are only two trailers like this in houston and neither of those have the brackets on them.

Damn that sucks to hear. Did you have a ball lock on it Alan? At least the car wasn't inside it, that is usually what crooks hope for.

I had a ball lock on it, chains around the tongue and it was tucked up against the front door of the shop. They took the brackets off the front gate and pulled it out with a truck. I never found any parts of the tongue lock.
Damn I hate thieves!!!!!!!!!
