Just a head's up everyone! On our way home to Texas from visiting family in the Cincinnati and Indianapolis areas, we overnighted at the Hinton RV Park in Sikeston, MO. That night some low life stole...

It is much easier for me to imagine the spare tire and mount rusted/vibrated or just fell off going down the road vs. believing a thief took the time to unbolt the mount from an occupied camper at a CG.
If the tire just fell off how would the OP know? Unless they heard it they would just keep on down the road, which is what I suspect happened.
Easier to imagine it fell off, but not inconceivable it was stolen.
The effectiveness of battery operated tools, have led to some surprisingly quick thefts. A few years back, catalytic converts were being cut right off the cars sitting in their driveways.
A spare, bracket and all, could be removed from one bumber--attached to the thief's bumber---in a matter of a minute or two.
You're right we are all guessing. But I would more likely hear someone with or without power tools working on my trailer if I were in it.
Trailers are just not that substantial that you would not hear or feel something going on.
But we really don't know what happened.
I could imagine someone stealing my spare out of necessity, but stealing spare and mount is a bit far fetched for me.
I agree it is possible, but am I believe they stole it to mount on their own trailer! Or they stole it to sell? None of those scenarios jive with me vs. the whole mess just fell off.
