I can totally relate to your situation. Couple of tips beyond the thread Ether linked earlier....

Wheel boots are pretty useless, I have accidentally driven the trailer a short distance with the boot on. It now sits unused in my truck. Instead I run a steel cable through the wheels and padlock the ends together. If you only have one wheel, find a place on the frame to run the cable through. I have proven more than once the trailer will not move when secured this way. This is even good advice for rented trailers.

Homeowners insurance will likely cover the contents of the trailer. Check it out and be repaired to provide a detailed inventory of what was in the trailer.

When something like this happens, immediately prepare a press releaase and get it to the newspapers. We had more than a hundred published articles when our trailer was stolen. Also blitz social media with pictures of the trailer. We ended up with two leads from our Facebook posts.

There is a serious need for something like "where's my droid" for trailers.

If you own the trailer, paint your license number on the roof in large letters, easy to see from a police helicopter.

I recommend NOT decorating the outside of the trailer with graphics. It draws attention to the trailer and makes it more appealing to thieves.

Ask the hotel for security tapes. Ask the local police to check red light cameras in the area.

First priority is to prevent the theft in the first place. Second priority is to quickly locate and recover the trailer. Third priority is to replace what was stolen.

Our trailer was never found although about 6 months later, we got a call from Fontana PD That two transients were found with our license plate on their trailer. We had them arrested, but nothing further came from that event.

Good luck with the recovery of your property.
