I think you should gather up about 25 snakes and place them in his cabin at night, from his picture he doesn't look like the type of guy that would like snakes. :D

Or, if you can get close to his unattended boat, some of this in the engine oil does the trick http://www.ebay.com/itm/SODIUM-SILIC...-/260864319776

Sometimes karma needs a push :D

Well, good news, our stolen trailer was recovered this week and I was able to verify that when they ran the new VIN tag thats on it, it came back to the original idiot that I saw with it months back and he said he borrowed it! So now there is a warrant out for the dummies arrest!

For all the career criminal wannabes out there, when you steal a trailer, dont let your buddy use it to take pictures of his boat to list for sale on Craigslist 2 towns away! This is how I found it again this time! What a dumbass. I knew I would find it again at some point and now once he is arrested, this chapter of our life will be done finally and the insurance company can recoupe some of the money for it now that its theirs again!

Great news!

On a side note check with your insurance for a buy back option. They will usually cut you a pretty good deal to save them handling and auctioning. This will also give you an opportunity to recoupe funds you lost when you resell for a profit

yes it is!
I have some paperwork I need to get to them and I have a buddy that is in the transport business that wants it if the insurance company sells it for the right price.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but the part that really sucks here is if he did successfully sell it on Craigslist, the buyer would have been screwed as well the first time he went to plate it and it came back stolen? Thieves are bastxxxx!

The way I read it, it already had a new vin plate. Too easy to get them nowadays. Just glad it's been resolved.

red
 
So you got it back but now the trailer is red. is that good or bad and is it a good paint job. I know that a friends dad had one painted and paid big bucks. So at least The guy is out that money.

Might be worth filing a claim for your $ troubles in small claims court. In my state you can file for at least $3500. Put a lean on the guys boat. In six months you can file to have it auctioned off. You get your $. The guy loses his boat. Life is good.
