Re: Be on the lookout for Robokong's team trailer

There have been two sightings of the trailer

FRI 6/29 430PM Southbound I5 in Irvine
SAT 6/30 245PM Eastbound 91 in Riverside near La Sierra

I spoke directly with both people that reported the sighting, asking questions about the trailer. I am convinced these were legit sightings based on their answers. Both reported seeing the graphics on the trailer. What is encouraging is the FRI sighting was about 50 miles away from where it was stolen while SAT sighting was much closer to home, about 10 miles. So I am assuming the trailer is still in the area and has not been altered as of Saturday.

There was one other sighting that I discredit, mainly because the "sighting" occurred before the theft while the trailer was still safely in the church parking lot.

Rick,

You might even want to take it one step furthur, form a 501 c 3 corporation. Home owners is nice in the fact that it will cover the team's losses, but it is a black mark against the policy holder personal policy and might even effect their rates.

I formed a 501, have liability insurance, insurance against loss while being towed (vs against the towing individual's car insurance), theft, etc...it's not that expensive but worth it.

I know, this is all "close the barn door after the cows get out" stuff, but good advice anyway.

Again, more hindsight but as the owner of Team Driven's trailer when we incurred our loss in Atlanta in 2010, I filed the claim of loss against the contents stolen from our trailer. Then, in Feb 2012, received a letter that my home-owners insurance would not be renewed when it came up for annual renewal in April. The 2 items sited in their letter were the 2010 Theft Loss in Atlanta and a storm damage claim in April 2011 resulting in a new roof and gutters on my home.

The idea of getting insurance other than via an individual is definitely a good idea!

Good luck in recovering your trailer AND contents, if any, as they can quickly become more valuable than the actual trailer!

Could you please share model and source of wheel lock?

Re: Be on the lookout for Robokong's team trailer

Dont forget a good hitch lock that blocks the hitch bolts, or weld the hitch to the toung of the trailer. That trailer has good locks on it as well.

I checked the hitch, it is welded to the tongue.

Re: Be on the lookout for Robokong's team trailer

maybe someone on the team could look on Kijiji or craigslist to see if it turns up, I know its a bold idea but it might turn up on one of those sites.
