Default Stolen Trailer With Race Car Inside!!!!

Last night, a friend's (Henry Thomae) 24ft enclosed trailer was stolen, with his race car inside. The car is a 1966 Chevy II. Please keep an eye out for anything you see or hear. The trailer has Thomae Racing "The Undertaker" San Benito, Texas right on the side in big red letters. Very easy to spot. The Red Chevelle in the picture with the trailer is not stolen.
Here's the pics.

Damn that sucks. Good luck. Had the samething happen to my dads 24f trailer on april 1st(haha) a few year back. Hopefully he had insurance for the stuff inside the trailer. Most people dont. We didn't. Didn't know or even think of it. Had my dads 57 chevy truck frame all done up, along with a lawn mower and other stuff.

Good luck

How brazen are these people to think that it wouldn't be hard to find a big trailer creeping out of town. I wished your dad tested out the "Castle" law where he'd take out that person while he was stealing it.

Holy ****, I would kill someone if they stole my trailer and race car. I assume they already filed a police report? If its still in the states, it shouldnt be hard to find. Chances are its in Guadalajara by now..

Sadly, I don't think our Texas friends on LS1Tech will be able to help. Now if you can post this on LSJuanTech.com, our friends across the border will probably be more likely to spot it. I doubt it's still on US soil.

Here's the update from HRG.

We got some good news a few minutes ago. Henry's trailer has been found on a back road, stuck in the mud, in the San Benito, Tx area (Cameron County). Ufortunatley, Blade was not in it. His tools are all gone, the car is gone and his pit bike is gone. Police say the thieves were in some kinda hurry because they even left the hood to the car behind. Channel 4 News just ran an awesome story on the theft a few minutes ago. They showed plenty of pictures of the car. So we hope these guy's will just give up and abandon the car somewhere. If you missed the news report at 6:00pm, it should be on again tonight at 10:00pm. So, good news for Henry, but it would be nice to have Blade back home where it belongs.I want to also thank all of you he replied so quickly and promised to keep an eye out. I asked Henry earlier if he had any enemies? And he told me, "Mark, everybody loves me"...LOL!...Isn't that the truth. Hopefully this will never happen to any of our other racers. But if it does, it's great to know we are a close knit race community who watch each others backs. Thanks!Mark Molinawww.texasdragracing.comSTILL NEED TO FIND THE CAR ....THAT SUCKS

Sorry to hear about this. Good luck on finding the car. I will be on the lookout for it at bracket races around Texas.
