#Stolen #Trailer #Oklahoma - ยานยนต์และพาหนะ
I would go and etch your name and address on it in several places including on the underside so its harder for them to try to say it is thsirs.. Cops love etched ID #'s
I was going to suggest the same thing, engrave the VIN somewhere else that thieves wouldn't think to look for it.
Go to Harbor freight and spend $15 on a metal stamping set and stamp your phone number on it in several places (not in plain sight). If the thieves see it, they'll think it's a part number.
any kinds of stamped or etched Id on your item makes it easy to identify after it is ripped off. I once had some crack head take my floor jack out from under a car I was working on. The next days I was checking out all the Pawn shops in the area and Volia there it was sitting for sale with my ID# still on it! I called the police and they came by and got the persons Id and such then after a day or so I got my jack back. The Crack head was sitting in jail at that point...
A lot of police stations have electro pencils you can borrow for free and I agree with a stamping kit. Stamp that vin all over that trailer frame!
All over the trailer.
Bad boys, bad boys whatcha’ going to do when Auto Auctions Rebuilds comes for you.
Brilliant!...lol
Epic LOL
LOL I lost it when I saw this comment!
TRAILERS THIEVES THWARTED......film at 11! Time to call the local stations on this caper ...............Oh yeah, get a BIG DOG , cams and a Watchman for your shop, ya never know...................
Whatcha going to do? Run and don't look back
if they pulled the vin number then steal it back and they cant prove you stole it from them either lmfao.
ElBossHogg Love it 😍
Exactly what I was thinking.
Same thing if there is no serial number on the baseball bat you use to bash his face with.
Unless there's cameras about.
That's what I would do.
You should always weld and stencil your VIN on your trailer in multiple places and even a couple of inconspicuous places.
Or cut you name into it, that’s what company’s in the U.K. do. So you have to cut a square out and re weld and even then it’s obvious
A VIN sticker? That's crazy. In my state, the VIN has to be stamped into the frame.
Yeah here everything has have more than one spot vined one riveted and one stamped
My state also the number is stamped in the frame
Vin plates can be changed, stamps can be removed with a grinder. Ultraviolet is the way to go, totally hidden until you need it to be revealed.
@@andrewlaw
Until they paint over it!!
@@andrewlaw that's why you crawl under the trailer and stamp in in several places.
Take down the ad for the 2500 ASAP!! Nice investigative work!!
Do you know how ads work or
Chris' friends on Facebook have all turned on him! They're ripping him a new one with every post. Serves him right for stealing from hard-working people!
his profile is public so anyone can comment
On all the trailers I have ever owned the VIN has been stamped, etched, or welded on. Not just the sticker VIN.
All the trailers I've had I've stamped the VIN number in two or three places on the trailer.
i had the same thought how can you register a trailer with out a vin ??? i heard of lazy cops but this is just mind numbing
@Bumpy Johnson if you pay attention the owner said and told police he knows where the trialer is all they had to do was go and look and do a simple investigation. talk to who ever has controll of trailer ask where there documentation is on trialer registration. if there is no vin the cops can say this trailer needs to have registration to be driven on the roads and with no vin it cant be. than run the pple who have said stolen trailer for warrents. its a win win they cld have arrested known felons and recovered stolen property instaed of saying we cant be bothered there is no way for us to tell because there is a sticker for vin.
@@wizard3z868 In Ohio, trailers don't have VIN's.
@@ffjsb dam go to florida for no inspections go to tenn. i think because plate belongs to owner not vehicle and than to ohio to steal a trialer interesting ? thx good to know
Makes MY Sunday and it's not even my trailer!!! YAY! (book em dano)
Hawaii five o line✌👌
Those smart as a brick crackheads will be booked. lol
Stealin a trailer and selling in online. lol
Blast these thieves: facebook.com/chris.trawick.96 and facebook.com/destinynatalee85
I just looked at there page
I hope they are thrown in prison for a long time. Those a$$holes after money
Usually we put the vin on the second crossmember on the driver side of the trailer
Your channel might get in trouble for posting info and getting subs involved in a witch-hunt.
@@SprayStein no it's all public knowledge you can get the police report with all the same info. He didnt tell anyone to physically harm them. He said to not approach them in person nothing g wrong with blasting them on FB it's all public info. I've been through something similar with making threats over FB as long as he doesn't threaten them with physical harm it's all good.
Awesome that everyone helped you out. Glad you got your trailer back man. Lesson learned.
It made my day knowing that you got your trailer back and.......you got the a$$holes that stole it!!!!!!
I can’t believe you got the trailer back!
I think you should also have an Auto Auction Rebuilds sign welded into the deck of the trailer. Extra promotion of your business as well
I was thinking the same thing. I would etch my Vin on a few cross members underneath, and put a plate welded in plain sight with my info.
Thank God that you allowed to have great people out there to help you recover a vital part of your life
Glad you got your trailer back, also glad for the community that kept an eye out... And hope to hear an update about them getting busted!!
Great detective work to ALL involved, Freakin AWESOME. Happy for you Randy. Now, put ALL the security on the trailer you can. Maybe store the trailer in the garage.
I was thinking that myself, or even just park it closer to the shop. It may be a little more of a hassle, but I think it will be worth it in the long run.
@@0386rm There are always enough cars at the shop to block it every night front and back, if he wants to leave it out in the open.
The trailer has a Bulldog hitch, or a knock off of one, just put a bulldog hitch lock on it. Master Lock makes one that's pretty tough. You'd need a torch to cut it off and then you'd probably cut the hitch and render it useless while you were at it. Also, chain the trailer to a large steel post concreted in the ground. Most thieves are looking for a quick snatch and run operation, so as long as it's in a well lit and easily observable area they won't take the time to cut a hitch lock and a chain securing the trailer to a steel post. Best idea is still to put it inside. Stamp the VIN in the frame in several easily viewable and hidden places. Put it on the axles too.
That's makes me mad! Thanks God u got your trailer back!!!!
I hate getting stuff stolen, glad you got it back!
I hate thieves!!! Glad you got it back man.
Your dedication and hard work to other speak volumes and miles away.
should have stole it back from them..................and get the perps plate ##
The issue with someone steeling from a TH-cam they have a huge fan base that will keep an eye out for it and they normally are found fairly quickly. like when Hoovie had that Mercedes suv stolen.
BLISSFUL FAPPER =,5
how many people like Roadkill? the mazdaratii is still missing. help mike nd dave get it back!!!! I wanna see that do 9.99's!!!
@@lschevys1038 some people say it's in Mexico I think it's stripped or got shipped or is in hiding but that would be nice
@@lschevys1038 dam you i wanted to say that
@@lschevys1038 runs tens .........
You are a very lucky person, you recover your trailer.
We had a trailer stlen a couple of years ago. The trailer was not worth a whole lot it was really old but rebuilt by the family. It was great grandpas and he had made it. So it was mostly a nostalgia thing and the whole family shared it. To this day it makes me so mad that some loser can just walk away with something thats yours. We never got it back and same thing told by the police that even if we found it it would be impossible to prove it was ours. Glad you got yours back. Huge credit to all the good people that helped you find it. Bad guys dont always win.
buy you self a tracking tag mount it somewhere outta sight that way you can track it no matter where it is :)
Vu Bear ill have to do that to my trailer
great idea maybe i should get 2 of em and those new shoes the wife wanted🤔
Make sure to get the vin etched in several places
LOJACK the trailer and get a BIG DOG
I have had stuff stolen from me and know the feeling it sucks I never got my stuff back congratulations dude
same here my all life stolen.
I traveled westbound through Midwest City, Oklahoma with my newly acquired and repaired 1976 GMC Motorhome in 2012. The GMC had developed vapor lock three times, and, in this town, it happened the fourth time. The coach always developed the problem near (1) a freeway exit, (2) a Shell station and (3) A Super 8 motel! People were so helpful, and one mechanic replaced the carburetor inlet fuel filter for me at no charge. Maybe a different era ten years ago!
Big shout out from S.WALES.UK to the people who found Randys trailer 👍
You guys that helped Randy to recover his trailer are so awesome!
I know the feeling, bought a Toyota SR 5 Tacoma truck in mint shape very low miles several years back had it two weeks and had it stolen. The used car dealer said the second set of keys would be forwarded to me but to my amazement someone broke into the dealership the same time my truck was stolen. Thing is I was at a hockey game and not a my home, so it's quite obvious the no one but those lying bunch of thieves stole the damn truck back but I couldn't prove it. Glad you got your trailer back. Cheers !
I’m glad you got your trailer back!
Hell ya do what you need to do to keep what's yours glad you got your trailer back and your a bigger man than I am cus as soon as old boy came out before he pulled off I would have rearrange his face first
So glad that you’ve got the trailer back, Randy! Good things will happen to good folks. Sending love from Singapore
Glad you got it back! I hope they end up catching those 2!
Randy I am very happy that you got your trailer back thank God because trailers like yours that are not cheap that are very expensive trailers
piece of advice, stitch the vin number on the trailer with a mig or stick welder, somewhere not obvious. One of my favorite ways of making things harder to steal.
Jeff L I would just tack it to the underbelly with mig if I was him thats seems to be the easy thing to do
@@thecookiemonstergaming3089 there's an old saying... Good isn't easy, and easy isn't good. I stitch them in because it's harder for people to grind off
@@JeffLMisc weld on a piece of steel to trailer with a corresponding piece that is a perfect fit or drill series of holes in binary code with your initials
@Jeff L don't foget to grind off the paint in that spot as well! Just sayin...
Scary stuff!! Definitely carry the heat. Hope they nab the felon and put him away for a very long time. Congrats on getting your trailer back. Stay safe!!
What sucks about that is all the felon has to say is that they bought it off someone else and since the cops probably couldn't prove that, they would probably just get a possession of stolen property charge.
they have small magnetic gps transmitters for $50 on amazon, might be helpful in your line of work
I used to have the exact same coat and it was my favorite coat ever. Yay trailer back.
Well, I didn't have to wait very long for this video! Very nice! Well done, Subs!
With a rap sheet like that, this guy shouldn't even have been able to steal the trailer.
Have some one weld the number under the trailer...I use to weld the last 4 of my phone number under mine.
miguel3209 1 bro that’s genius, imma weld my last 4 digits on now
miguel3209 1 got sick of that bullshit, someone stole my truck and wrecked it, it was finally returned looking like it was hit by 2 semi trucks
thats great man and thanks to all that helped out. someone tried to steal my trailer once, but forgot to lock it to the ball and when they pulled out of the driveway it slammed on the pavement and made one hell of a racket.
Congrats Randy Your subs Love you and are willing to go out on a limb for you. Great to see how you got your trailer back That takes a load off your mind. Loving your content Little Aussie Follower
Randy, I'm so happy for you, man! Your rough week is starting to look up!
Congrats on getting your trailer back Randy! That's awesome.
I have a 1997 Chevy Z71 extended cab short bed and I have a 18ft flat bed Trailer dam near identical to your trailer and Im a Hotshot Truck owner and Oporator Happy to hear that you have your trailer back
Randy so glad you found your trailer and you are safe, the Bear Claw Enforcement team was ready to assist you!
Awesome!! Glad you got it back.
i knew it would end up for sale on social media , glad you got it back
I know this sounds out there Randy, but my dad used to cut the tongue off the trailer. Then retrofit it with a fitting that allowed him to put it back on the trailer, (ya know like a coupler that would be used to join two pipes)and take it off as needed!! We had a couple stolen from us until my dad did that, and well...( chuckling)that never happened again! He also removed the safety chains (in a way so that they could go back on...) that way it couldn't be towed with just the chains, like you explained in the video when you said it was stolen! Damn Glad you got it back!!
ANYWAY, KEEP ON KEEPING ON BROTHER!!
PEACE 🤘
P.S. I know there are locks that can be put on the wheels, but those can be cut off as well, if someone really wants to! With this modification on the tongue... and no chains... they ain't stealing your trailer again.
Had this happen before, got back one trailer out of three I've had stolen in the past 25 yrs or so. Only got it back because a good friend of mine found it on Facebook. Called police and when I got to the home where it was they had ground down the VIN number. I had welded custom legs with pins to level the trailer when not hooked to truck. I described it before they let me show them. I weld my initials on every job I do now. All trailers, mowers and equipment I own have it also. Hard lesson to learn. Glad you got your property back. Kudos to the folks who helped out.
you are a good person buddy, and God rewarded you, so dont ever change...
110%
Good One
GPS tracker and a hidden VIN on the trailer..
and a BIG DOG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can not speak for other manufacturers but I used to build horse and stock trailers. While the vin is a sticker, normally when you peal them off (has to do this when they got mixed up) they sticker leaves parts of it behind that say "VOID" all over. Those can be pulled off as well (it is a pain in the a**) so we also stamped the vin under the trailer in no less then 2 locations.
Etch the last 6 of the vin somewhere or GPS tracker tail lamps are an option. Either way good video..glad you recovered your trailer.
Once I seen this video I clicked quick!! I’m so glad you got it back!!! Good job putting them on blast!!!
Same here
Am glad u got ur trailer back 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
When my dogs got out about 3 years ago. The person that found them was selling them on Craigslist when I found the listing I contacted him. He never responded when he didn’t respond I posted another ad stating those dogs were mine. One person saw my ad and contacted him then he gave me his information and I was able to get my dogs back. I know it’s not car related but I’m glad you were able to recover your trailer.
Glad you got your trailer back,I do like buddies way of thinking though,steal it back and they can't prove it's theirs,LOL.
police always in with oh we cant help line
good to see you got it back
There are times when tyrants can't help shit!
911 / Police are for After You Take Care of Business!! (Trash Removal)
so glad you found it
Glad to hear your trailer is back with you. It’s a good idea to weld the last 5-6 digits of the vin number on the trailer because my trailer has that welded onto the A frame coupler area and it’s obvious if it gets ground down and I also put a secondary vin number hidden on my trailer as well
In NC we stamp the VIN on the axle. It's required to pass inspection.
Pace Metal Fab and Waterjet because NC is the best state to live in period 😁 I love my home state
What a P.O.S glad you got you're trailer back hope they get put behind bars
Great news!
Man, I know how you feel. I had my dream truck stolen out of my driveway a few months back and it still hurts. I never got the truck back. I really want it back but unfortunately, I will never see it again.
Great work by the subscribers.
Great news well done to you're feoncie for finding the place
Congratulations Randy. I'm so happy you got your trailer back. Thieves are the scum of the earth. May they rot and burn in hell.😈
Glad you got your trailer back bro. Good info need to stamp my serial on my trailer 👍✊
Glad to see it you got it back, very lucky. I hope your paying for everyone's lunch that stepped up to help, good job guys.
Glad you got it back
Do the people who helped you find it still get the award you offered ?
Number punches are cheap to buy. I restamp the vin several places on all my trailers. Never had one stolen yet but it is good to have it stamped. Glad you got yours back.
you have always struck me as an honest man and this has paid off with such wonderful support. Cast your bread upon the waters...….
Nicee bro!! Really cool that you got your trailer back and a big shoutout to the subscribers who helped!! Awesome work guys😎🔥
Weld your vin on it in 5 or 6 places and take one of those and weld over it with a piece of steel so it cant be seen unless u cut the welds
I alao found out if u weld the vin with stainless rods its almost impossible to grind off the vin with out destroying the carbon steel
I love the way this turned out!
Glad ya got it back. Carry on and stay safe !
Hey Randy, how you doing man?
I'm new to your channel. I've seen some videos and I think is should comment now.
I saw that video of you grinding the lock where ball bearings coming off and you cut it on 2 places.
It great your trailer back.
And I'm meaning to say this. Buddy you're a lucky Son of A Gun.
You end up buying great cars. Especially that Cadillac SRX. Because, the gaps between the hood and fender and the door was just OEM. I learn a lot from you, thanks a lot for your videos. I studied Biomedical engineering a while ago and knows a thing or about fitness as well.
Any how, I love your enthusiastic display of video making.
I have an advice you carry around your gimbal, sometimes you should have a Go Pro. Cause, one hand is always occupied and thst limits you doing a lot. It will effect your video timing as well. Well that's my opinion.
I had been making videos as well so I know. But mine were more fitness based.
Take care man. And Congrats
Weld your Vin number on the frame and one under the bed. It will help you out later on
This is so awesome!!!!
So glad you got your trailer back from those criminals! Unfortunately there are ppl out there that do this as a living so they don't have to go out and get a REAL job and be a productive adult like us! I wish you the best of luck in the future and God bless you! ❤🛵SCOOTER
Put the trailer behind your shop and lock it with a wheels with chains.
Hope you see the comments from today and yesterday's and have a good rest of your Sunday
....and BLOCK IT IN with cars, etc
Dude is locked up Randy in prison for 5 years.
Heck yeah!!!
What about the girl? So was it that apartment. Or was this mustang creek ?
Glad you are ok randy I enjoy all your video you are a real tropper get well and get back to your awesome video get well soon bud
I'm am so happy for you that you got it back
Stealing is something I cant swallow, and I believe only extreme measures can only deal with this kind of crime!
Alpha numeric punches work wonders. I had a stolen trailer recovered in Missouri by punching the VIN into the frame.
That's what I need to do. I just bought a new 18 foot beavertail car trailer.
I hope they get them.
Good job getting your trailer back.
New subscriber here. Keep us posted.
I am glad you got your stuff back .
Uberdetectiveman, glad you got your trailer back
get some number punches and tag the VIN into the frame underneath out of sight..... i do it all the time for my stuff just in case.
Glad ,you got your trailer back!!
Awesome im happy you got your trailer back....
Go buy a wheel clamp NOW. Oh and kudos to all who found it!
I do not trust Facebook.well happy for you.
I do trust facebook. You have to be smart about it, Click on profile, And look around and comment with friends. It say everything. Always meet them up at public places with camera ( Jack in a box ) ETC or even police station.
I def recommend etching the vin or welding a plate with the vin in a few places. Maybe make 1 place super inconspicuous, and the other 2 obvious. That way any potential thief would see the obvious ones and remove them and not find the hidden 1.
Also invest in a quality GPS tracking device. That way as soon as its taken you can track it before the thief discards the trailer and or finds said tracker.
So glad you got your trailer back!!!
