The Moral of the Vanishing Trailer

A Deming, New Mexico man's experience may lead to enhanced security views for some in the RV community. It seems his travel trailer "vanished" from New Mexico, and somehow reappeared over in Safford, Arizona.

Police got a call from the trailer's owner, telling them he'd located his missing trailer in an RV park in Safford. Local police turned out and questioned the trailer's occupants and pieced together a story--and an arrest. Apparently the suspect needed a 'nicer place for himself, girlfriend, and their baby' to live, so he paid a fellow he knew in Deming to steal a trailer for him. Interesting approach to housing, but police are working out the details of prosecution.

Inexpensive "hitch locks" that prevent a trailer's hitch from locking down on a tow vehicle ball can make a would-be theif think twice about running off with your trailer. Here's one from the Camping World site. For less than a $40 investment, it'll save a lot of worry. Security locks are available for your fifth wheel, too.
