Someone stole our travel trailer



Our Families travel trailer was stolen over the Thanksgiving holiday in Fernandina Beach, Florida. It was stored at a friends business and had a tongue lock attached. To the Grinch that took it please know this camper meant a lot to our family. Our daughter is heartbroken because she loved it so much. My wife and I are distraught because it will be a real financial hardship to be able to replace it and it's contents. We had saved for a long time to buy it and all the equipment we bought for it over time. The Grinch took it all, even the tire covers and wheel chocks. Please keep an eye out for it, we would appreciate it. It is a 23 foot 2006 Rockwood 2306. It had a spare tire with molded plastic cover mounted on the rear bumper and was in excellent shape. One distinguishing interior feature was that it had 2 bunks in the back originally, but I removed the top bunk to accommodate my growing daughter It had a current Florida Tag on it N230DM

    On my previous TT I ran a 5/8" dia cable through the tandem wheels. Was a self locking cable. It really slows them down more than a hitch lock.

    Sorry for your loss.

    I agree with the Craigslist suggestion. Start scouring the listings!

    I'm truly sorry for your loss. Hopefully you can find something to focus on, so it doesn't totally ruin your Christmas holiday. On the bright side, no one got hurt....

    Look for it on Craigslist in a nearby state.

    Hope that you had good insurance on it.

    You can buy a tracking device. It basically uses a cell phone chip in it, and has GPS tracking. You buy a monthly phone at Wal Mart or someplace, and pay by the minute plan, not a monthly rental. Then put the chip from that phone into the tracker. If you decide to track the car or whatever the device is put into, you call the "Phone number" and it activates it's GPS, telling you exactly where it is located.

    It also works on computers. I-Pads can tell you where they are located within about 75 feet. Close enough that law enforcement can obtain a search warrant if required to get your stuff back.
