^ hoping the stacker was empty and that the thieves get bitten in the nuts by a k-9 cop during apprehension.

I know the heart dropping, gut wrenching range of emotions when this happens🤬 I hope the rig and Trailer both come back soon in one piece.

Was this stuff stored out in the middle of nowhere with no tracking device on anything? Even a storage facility would have a camera to pinpoint the timeline.

It’s stored in our warehouse 95% of the time we had just got back from glamis yesterday afternoon and hadn’t put the rig and trailer away. We are trying to get into all the cameras we have to pinpoint time

you have to work fast , get a map that enables you to see all possible routes and start grabbing camera footage from anywhere you can ( stores , homes, traffic etc ) but you need to work quickly to see where they went..possibly hire someone to start doing legwork ....

Seriously what in the fuck is someone gonna steal all that for? That trailer is so unique it’s not even funny, it’s only good for glamis, the coach well that mother fucker is huge, only way to move that around is on the interstate. My guess is they were going for the buggies and shit the bed, the coach and trailer will turn up sitting someplace, it’s too big and too unique to duke off is my thought.

Man, this is heart wrenching to read. Such nice stuff, I'd be devastated!! @boatpi any luck??

Should be easy to locate once reported as stolen. With all the Flock camera systems, it's just a matter of time.

This is so hard to even fathom. I can’t imagine a tweaker or gang member even knowing how to drive that rig. This isn’t like taking an old f150 to Mexico. There has to be more to this story. Not saying something nefarious but somebody knew something.

Looks like it may have been recovered, the Montana plate shows inactive. Have the call Brea PD to confirm as I cannot get detailed info until midnight tonight. No trailer plate listed... They want that stacker and what was inside, X100.

I think I’ve posted at least 50 times about installing trackers specially in a motorhome. It’s so easy because you usually have plenty of back up batteries and often Solar on the roof. On a stacker like this, I put a small solar panel on the roof if you don’t have it, and I won’t be bad on the inside to maintain in a lot compartment and a tracker inside it there. every time it’s hooked up to the rig it also tops off the battery. But those that have flatbed trailers like mine with a small battery you could take a screwdriver and open up the emergency battery for the braking system and slide an AirTag underneath that battery.

Are Moho's easy to steal? That's a hell of a big rig to make off with
I’m assuming hot wired unless keys were left inside. But if door was locked, pretty hard to get in unless they break a window. And there is pretty easy access behind the dash for someone who knows how to hot wire stuff 🤷‍♂️

Glad to hear it was recovered and hopefully not too much damage to anything. Where was it found?

Glad your family got it back. I grew up in Brea and there was never any crime back then. Sucks.

Spotted and followed, seen at Glamis and followed, random doubtful as that rig is not common whatsoever.

It was stolen from Brea. Doors were locked and keys were not in it. It was recovered from LA in the culver area. We don’t know the extent of the damage yet. We know the trailer is already damaged. The idiot didn’t know how to drive and ran the trailer along the side of our building when he was pulling out. The trailer wheel well was sitting on the floor, that’s how we figured out it was stolen

I’m sure you’ve posted before but maybe a refresher for everyone looking at this thread now. Can you recommend some trackers and lo jack that work pretty well

Went thru a similar situation a couple years ago. Only by divine intervention that a RDP member spotted it and it was recovered. I have now installed Optimus trackers. Service is $13.95 a month. Sends notifications to your phone anytime the vehicle is disturbed. Hard wired so you don't have to worry about dead batteries in the tracking device.

Hidden air tags with the speakers removed is the way to go if you want to do many vehicles and don't want to pay a monthly subscription.

I have them on almost all of my vehicles at this point and they work great. When they ping off of a nearby phone, there is no notification that pops up or anything alerting the owner of that phone.

Cheap, small, and easy to install with zero wiring involved.

Trackers are great. But the pros stealing the new trucks in my area are using GPS scramblers. My Buddy Truck stolen 1 week after mine had lojack and a tracker ap. Lojack alerted him immediately. But the truck was not where Lojack showed it. They never found it. His new truck has ravelco and Lojack. Lojack did pay him out 10k for not finding it.

I need to ad kill switches and trackers. Expensive lesson on my end 35k loss if I buy the same truck. But i can't even find the same truck available used or new.

Not sure if same group of thieves. But they stole the local lock smith van Friday night. As if they didn't already have the tools now they got more.
