On the QT call Brett and see if he stamps an ID number on it. And don’t broadcast that info. Yeah I have photos of the intake and numbers on it, plus I had Brett machine stuff on the outside.

Seem like they knew what to get, Was anyone else trailers had race car related items in it.......... That's f%*k up years ago my garage was broken in to and the people/person didn't have a clue on anything race car related but they stole tools to further other break-in of other people's property. They just grabbed what was accessible, and it all was there to take without a problem. Other than what was in the trailer cabinets & toolbox, all else was in boxes sealed up. Probably don't even know what they have. They tried to take the winch, but got spooked or gave up. No idea if there are any other racers with trailers in there or not. With as many trailers broke into that night, it's obvious there was a crew of people who did it. Scumbags.

I hate people who buy hot sh!t ... they're the one's creating the market !! This. They do it since there is a market. We used to go in a mom-pop bar and when someone wondered in wanting to sell crap he would go out and get the cars type and plate number. Someone hit my dad's home and was later held at the pawn shop while cops were in route. They knew he had stolen stuff so called it in. We got lucky and got about half of the stolen stuff back

my dad had a bunch of his stuff stored in one of those "U-store-it" places with the individual stalls/rooms setups one time. in it, he had his roller bottom and top box, filled with his tools. anyway, that storage place got broken into one day/night, and the sneaky bastages climbed from stall to stall via the roof trusses, [the stalls had no "roofs", allowing the skylights to be used as natural light] thieving items and leaving the door locks untouched. when he was notified about the break-in, we went to check on his stuff. opening his stall, it was immediately noticeable that the top box of his roller cabinet was missing ! now realize, this box is the full size top box, and it was filled with tools ! i don't know how big these guys were, but hefting that box up to the roof trusses and then maneuvering it out of there must have been a workout. he had other tools stolen as well, and he was pretty disappointed. heartbroken actually. the state police had him fill out a report, but he figured it probably was a useless cause. as he had no insurance on these tools, he was wondering how he was going to replace them. a lifetime collection, gone in a heartbeat. a few weeks later, dad gets a call from the police station. he was asked if he could describe his missing top box and any of the other tools stolen. he did so, and they told him to come to the station. i took him over, and along the way, we figured he would only get a few of the tools back. surprisingly, when we got there, everything he had missing was recovered ! as the roller boxes were locked, the thieves had pried open the top box, but that was easily repaired. [everyone knows how thin the material is on most boxes] he was SUPER HAPPY to get his tools back, as everyone would be ! it seems the reason his tools were recovered, was the fact there were guns stolen in this break-in, [in another stall/room] and that's what the state police were looking for. when they apprehended the bad guys and the guns, there in the living room next to the couch, was dads tool box ! just pure luck, but who cares ! bad guys go to jail, dad gets his tools back, other items seized at the time go back to their owners, win-win and win !

Thanks for the words gents.
6PKRTSE that's a lot of extra work, but a good idea. I like the extra internal door locks idea.
I could easily keep my trailer at my house behind the RV gate......BUT......homeowners assoc doesn't allow it. Hell, I even have to give them 24 hour notice I'm parking it in my driveway before I bring it home, and once its in the driveway I can only keep it there for up to 36 hours, or request an extension for more time. HOA's have their place and I knew that when we built our house 22 years ago.
The place I keep it at is where I've always kept my enclosed trailers. Never ever had a problem like this before. It was either an inside job, or when someone was at the entry gate there was someone waiting behind to gain entry, and then plan their way out. They have working dogs and its patrolled with armed guards and surveillance cameras. Not sure how it happened, but I'm pissed as are others who took some sort of loss.
Car was not inside. It's always removed and kept home. I'd never leave it inside.
They stole some good tools, Pit Pal equipment I hadn't mounted yet, nitrous bottles/parts, alum jack, boxes with couple extra shifters, spare fuel pump, and a newly cast Brett Miller intake. Not even sure why I had the intake in there. Checking local online stuff to see if any of it surfaces, and my buddy will be at the big local Glendale swap meet this weekend to check things out. A little extra work but it only takes me 5 mins to do my lock down and to undo it all where as a thief will probably never figure it all out. By the time they are all done beating and banding out there my Rottweiler will inform me of any visitors as well. Then there is always Smith and Wesson on stand by also.

UPDATE!!
Scumbags caught and arrested.
Officer called the number on one of the boxes (my number) with parts inside.
Going tomorrow morning to see what’s left that belongs to me. Yes!
