That sucks.

Didn't another member here get his trailer stolen after suffering a blown tire on the trailer and having to go get another tire?

Seems like someone needs to do a sting operation and bury a few thieves.

Thx Jim

What's strange is that stretch of hwy is well traveled with traffic during that time period.
Someone saw something. I was going the opposite way there @ 3pm.

That really sucks. I can't even imagine how the owner feels right now. Hoping for a speedy recovery of this fine teener.

If someone should run across a blue 914 and wonder whether it’s the stolen one; The last four VIN digits are 7374
Easy two remember; 73 and 74 are two of the more desirable year models: I know.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/mad.gif) Thieves suck! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/ar15.gif)

Now the hard lesson for everyone that pulls a trailer. There is NO excuse for not having a spare and if you have double axle trailer then 2 spares. I would rather pull my trailer with 4 flats then leave it along side any road unwatched while I go to find a place to buy a replacement tire (or 2).

Also carry some heavy duty ratchet straps if you have a dual axle trailer. If you don't have a spare then in a pinch you could rig up the axel with no tire on it so it doesn't touch the ground and slowly pull it hopefully to a safer place than leaving it along a highway unattended.

A about a year or so ago, a member here had his trailered 914 stolen at a Motel. IIRC, they abandoned the 914 and kept the trailer.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)
Are trailers the low hanging fruit ?

The thieves can use the trailer to steal more stuff... that and usually people have tools or generators and other goodies that are easier to sell in a trailer.

I guess it is safe to say the owner called the CHP to see if it was towed off the freeway by them. I hope he finds his car in perfect condition still inside the trailer.
