May be a market for such a trailer as a product.

You know, as smart as all of us are one would think we could create a solution with a cRIO, LOTS of LED's, a bunch of barely-functional web cams, an on-demand cell connection, plenty of 12V batteries from a couple of years ago and perhaps some servos or motors to make things move.
It could literally serve as a beacon for "security", or the police, to say "hey, the thieves are right here, right now". Plus there would be photo evidence, auto-stored in the "cloud".
Then the marketing team could make some graphics that say
"What would you like to tell the Internet?" or
"Ha! Gotcha! If you run, our robots may chase you..." or
"Autonomous Apprehending Device Activated" or
"WARNING: This device is a prototype and may explode if it detects fear" or
<insert witty and snarky remark here>
Ok ... I (mostly) kid - this wouldn't help personal vehicles much. We had an incident in 2013, but the car was a rental and there weren't any personal items in it. It seriously needs to be addressed...
