Sorry to hear this. Any idea where it could be or could be heading? I assume not or you would have mentioned it, but I'm asking anyway.

This is crazy! I live in Hartland and my boat sits right out by the road all year long. Never had an issue, but now I'm worried. Good luck and I'll keep my eyes peeled.

Hope you locate...
 
...and retrieve your boat!

I hate to think we are all going to need to put GPS trackers in everything we own!

I have an automotive alarm by Python (DEI) on my boat with their smart start feature, which allows me to arm and dis arm the alarm from my iphone as well as it immediately sends a text once alarm is triggered. I have my phone set so when a text from my boat comes in it has a super anoying ring tone. THere are magnetic pickups on the doors, hatch and cushion bottoms. Also has the GPS locater service so if it is stolen, I can track it via GPS. If a theif were to just hook up my trailer and take off, they wouldn't trigger the alarm, so they would never know it is being tracked. However if they just break in to steal my stereo equipment, I will get a text once they open a door. SInce I live 2 blocks from where my boat is stored, I will most likely greet them with a ball bat to the bridge of thier nose befor ethey have a chance to get out of the storage lot.

I browse the classifieds often, will keep an eye out for any of your parts...

Great idea. Approximately how much did that run?

briansbadlx 07-18-2012 08:19 AM

Honestly i never thought some one would have the balls to just pull up and hook up to the boat like they did

BoatShow239 07-18-2012 08:30 AM

And I hate to say it...
 
...but that is exactly how they get away with it!

It is a bite! There are more brass monkeys walking around out there then you can imagine.

Hope the police don't catch them... but you do! And then after, give them to the police.

I'll keep an eye out here in the NE, not many PQs at all around here, it'll stick out like a sore thumb.

Alarm was a couple hundred bucks. Had to pay to have installed by an authorized python (Dei) installer in order to activate the smart start function. Then it is like an extra $100 or so a year for the service.

There are plenty of theifs with the balls big enough to do that. Think about it, Back up to the traile takes second (especially if you have a back up camera) no need for anyone to help line you up. Get out crank the handle and your gone. Probably took less than 30 seconds. I know I can hook my trailer up in 30 seconds or less and I am not in a hurry.....

Budman II 07-18-2012 11:34 AM

Wouldn't a good lock on the trailer tongue latch slow them down a bit?

not trying to give anyone ideas but...anyone can tow a trailer without the ball, simply shorten up the safety chains and voila you are on your way. are you going to tow 1,000 miles like this? no, but it gets a theif to a safe place.

I would look at this as opportunity to upgrade. Collect the insurance money and step up.
