Not likely. Oil field WORKERS buy things with money they EARN.

It's probably more likely in the back woods somewhere with some POS meth-heads making drugs.

You owe the oil workers an apology.

No apology here.
Sharks in those areas are charging oil workers up to $2000 a month RENT to live in an RV.
The only apology should be from the rip off landlords and gypsy "rv park" owners.
But hey, that's capitalism.

I'd place my vote on the meth heads. It just needs to be towed to some rural land, used for a few batches, then torched for someone to make some quick cash.

I don't think so, who would pull a stolen trailer across several states to set up in open view. These people make more money then most in this country and would not risk ther job.

Look, read my post.
I never said anything about the WORKERS.

That was directed to the people who prey on the workers.

I feel your pain, I posted a similar post a couple weeks ago regarding someone stealing our families 2006 Rockwood 2306 over Thanksgiving. It was locked and stored at a friends business. We are still thinking about things that we had stored in the trailer that we won't see again and have to start all over trying to replace. We have State Farm and the policy won't cover contents. We rent so no homeowners insurance either to help with contents. I hope for a good experience with State Farm and the process we have to go through to have them figure out what they will pay. I fear your travel trailer like ours is long gone. Our trailer was in turn key condition, so the thieves just have to roll out the owning set up all our camping chairs and enjoy themselves. :(
Good Luck.

My god. You all have a lot of crime in the south.

This rv was recovered in Tn, about 100 miles from here.

Recovered

That's great news. But I sure would want the police to confirm that no meth was cooked in it before I took it back.

I'd want them to run a few passes with different dogs, be it bomb sniffing dogs or bong sniffing dogs just to make sure there isn't anything hidden inside.

Better find out then than at an I-10 checkpoint and facing 20-life for possession with intent to distribute.

Well this part from the provided link tells you what the most likely reason for the theft was.

Odum, who is currently in the Monroe County TN Jail was arrested by the Madisonville TN Police Department while conducting a methamphetamine investigation.

Can the police help with some kind of residue test to tell you if there is residue from meth cooing in the trailer?

If they were cooking meth in there you would easily know. But, mlts22 has a good point. There could be some stored in there and then you would be in big trouble. I would think any competent police force would have already checked it but, there's no harm in asking them if they have.
