Glad you got your trailer back.
A couple of ideas if I may, and sorry if you already do.
Paint your post code on the roof in huge letters, so that they fill the roof space, do it with many coats that way it’ll show up even if it’s painted over. Makes it easier to spot by police helicopter or easier to prove it’s yours.Clearly painting the side panels and ramp with your post code also makes them less desirable to thieving scum. This also applies to caravans etc even if you have a tracker.
A big equestrian crime is saddlery/ tack and sundries which is often kept in wooden sheds etc. See if you can get an old chest freezer, put a couple of strong padlocks on it and you have a very heavy secure locker. They also make great mouse proof bins to store sacks of feed.
Again, I’m sorry if I’m teaching granny to suck eggs.
Thanks for this. Mrs F has already had the post code suggestion made to her but I hadn’t thought of the chest freezer idea.
On the plus side, a lovely PC from Leicestershire police just telephoned to confirm the serial number and we now have absolute confirmation that our trailer has been recovered. It cannot be released until they have forensics - which have to wait 72 hours because of potential Covid contamination but that is a small problem for us.
