We Found the Thieves and Got my Trailer Back! THANK YOU! 

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

Take down the ad for the 2500 ASAP!! Nice investigative work!!

if they pulled the vin number then steal it back and they cant prove you stole it from them either lmfao.

You should always weld and stencil your VIN on your trailer in multiple places and even a couple of inconspicuous places.

A VIN sticker? That's crazy. In my state, the VIN has to be stamped into the frame.

Bad boys, bad boys whatcha’ going to do when Auto Auctions Rebuilds comes for you.

On all the trailers I have ever owned the VIN has been stamped, etched, or welded on. Not just the sticker VIN.

Awesome that everyone helped you out. Glad you got your trailer back man. Lesson learned.

Makes MY Sunday and it's not even my trailer!!! YAY! (book em dano)

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

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!

Thank God that you allowed to have great people out there to help you recover a vital part of your life

That's makes me mad! Thanks God u got your trailer back!!!!

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.

It made my day knowing that you got your trailer back and.......you got the a$$holes that stole it!!!!!!

I hate getting stuff stolen, glad you got it back!

I can’t believe you got the trailer back!

The issue with someone steeling from a RU-vid 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.

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!!

I hate thieves!!! Glad you got it back man.

Your dedication and hard work to other speak volumes and miles away.

buy you self a tracking tag mount it somewhere outta sight that way you can track it no matter where it is :)

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.

I have had stuff stolen from me and know the feeling it sucks I never got my stuff back congratulations dude

Make sure to get the vin etched in several places

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

Glad you got it back! I hope they end up catching those 2!

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!

You guys that helped Randy to recover his trailer are so awesome!

So glad that you’ve got the trailer back, Randy! Good things will happen to good folks. Sending love from Singapore

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.

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

Big shout out from S.WALES.UK to the people who found Randys trailer 👍

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!!

You are a very lucky person, you recover your trailer.

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

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.

Randy, I'm so happy for you, man! Your rough week is starting to look up!

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.

I’m glad you got your trailer back!

Have some one weld the number under the trailer...I use to weld the last 4 of my phone number under mine.

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.

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 !

In NC we stamp the VIN on the axle. It's required to pass inspection.

i knew it would end up for sale on social media , glad you got it back

Good One GPS tracker and a hidden VIN on the trailer..

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 Australia our vins are welded on .welded as in weld the letters and numbers in multiple spots

Congrats on getting your trailer back Randy! That's awesome.

Awesome!! Glad you got it back.

they have small magnetic gps transmitters for $50 on amazon, might be helpful in your line of work

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.

you are a good person buddy, and God rewarded you, so dont ever change...

Once I seen this video I clicked quick!! I’m so glad you got it back!!! Good job putting them on blast!!!

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.

I used to have the exact same coat and it was my favorite coat ever. Yay trailer back.

so glad you found it

Am glad u got ur trailer back 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

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.

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.

What a P.O.S glad you got you're trailer back hope they get put behind bars

police always in with oh we cant help line good to see you got it back

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

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.

Great news!

Great news well done to you're feoncie for finding the place

Great work by the subscribers.

Milwaukee Tick. Check em out! Glad you got your trailer back. Hide the Tick inside the frame rail etc..

Glad you got it back

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.😈

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

Randy so glad you found your trailer and you are safe, the Bear Claw Enforcement team was ready to assist you!

Weld your Vin number on the frame and one under the bed. It will help you out later on

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

Glad you got your trailer back bro. Good info need to stamp my serial on my trailer 👍✊

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

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

Dude is locked up Randy in prison for 5 years.

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.

I hope they get them. Good job getting your trailer back. New subscriber here. Keep us posted.

Stealing is something I cant swallow, and I believe only extreme measures can only deal with this kind of crime!

Uberdetectiveman, glad you got your trailer back

I am really glad you got it back.

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

Blast these thieves: facebook.com/chris.trawick.96 and facebook.com/destinynatalee85

Do the people who helped you find it still get the award you offered ?

Glad ya got it back. Carry on and stay safe !

I am glad you got your stuff 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.

How do u know it's his trailer cuz no one is selling a 3k trailer for 800 lol

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.

Get the VIN etched into the frame in a couple spots. Very glad you were able to get it back. I wish I had the technology back in the 90's when my car was stripped.

Alpha numeric punches work wonders. I had a stolen trailer recovered in Missouri by punching the VIN into the frame.

Go buy a wheel clamp NOW. Oh and kudos to all who found it!

I always weld my initials under behind the frame. My pops had one stolen and I took it as advice. I once had some rims stolen as well, so everything that holds great value around the house has my initials stamped or welded.

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.

That was so good Randy. I'm very happy for you. Also, I think 2nd VIN is on axle maybe?

Dude stamp the VIN number on it with those letter punches!!!

Awesome im happy you got your trailer back....

I agree use a die cast and emprint the VIN number on the frame of the trailer in several places. Without a grinder they cannot remove it. Then take photos of where you put them on the trailer. Glad you got your property back!!!!!
