But by the time it attracted any attention of a real live NSA analyst it would have been weeks later and the rig would be back home already.

It happen about two or three years ago they where from Parkton Maryland . Tow brothers and their sons. They now hunt in the US . I need to talk to my neighbor but I think the brothers never did get there stuff back.

Howdy I bought a boot on amazon which I place on the tow vehicle when we stop to sleep on the road. that would make a whole lot of racket if the truck was hot wired and the guy tried to drive off!

I will say, not being seperated from the drivers seat was one of my considerations when buying an RV.

Yep, X2. It was a _major_ consideration in my selection, either for blacktop overnighting or real boondocking.

I know a guy in my area went hunting in BC they stoled his truck, trailer ,three 4 wheelers and all their hunting gear. The guy said when they got up the next morning everything was gone. The guy thinks the guide had something to do with it because he told them where to stay.

Man..that's alot of gear to loose in one one night. Where in BC was this and when? I have some pals in the RCMP and I'll have a chat...see what doing with the file.

The guy thinks the guide had something to do with it because he told them where to stay. I carry a cheap driveway alarm with me when I stay in hotel. I just put the sensor in the dash and the receiver in your room . If anyone crosses the beam the alarm will go off. You can pick them up at Harbor Freight on sale $15 bucks. When we travel in the RV I put one in the front window tilted down toward the ground so it hits about 5 feet in front of the RV. Like they say prepare for the worse and hope for the best. Desperate people do desperate things. I figure no matter who you are when you are traveling in a RV some people think you have money laying around because your on vacation . Be safe !!

An iPhone? Yep, I guess so, with all the apps on there, one of them should be able to tell a person where they are.

Fish, The NSA probably just saw your post and are monitoring YOU now. :)

Mounties say the truck was found a short time later, and while the owner was OK, the suspect or suspects were long gone. Gary Haupt

maybe not unless the thieves were aware that the trailer was occupied at the time of the theft. maybe that's why the bad guys scrammed...they realized that they were not alone.

Kidnapping Definition

That definition is the US model of Kidnapping. But the victim in this thread was in British Columbia. Try this out of size:

Forcible Confinement. "In Canada, it is a criminal offence to unjustly hold anyone against their will through the use of threats, duress, force or the exhibition of force. This offence is called "forcible confinement" and is formally defined by the Criminal Code of Canada as depriving an individual of the liberty to move from one point to another by unlawfully confining, imprisoning or forcibly seizing that person.

1 The term "forcible confinement" also includes the offence of "kidnapping".

2 Kidnapping is similar to forcible confinement in that a person is held against their will, but it also involves the act of transporting the victim from one place to another. It is not possible to distinguish between these two offences from the data reported by police services; however, information from adult criminal courts shows the vast majority (94%) to be forcible confinement."

yahbut a reasonable person could determine that the crime of forcible confinement could be committed in this case only if the offenders were aware that the trailer was occupied.
