| Ladies,
I am asking that each of you please keep an eye out for my trailer when you are at an event. I was told by the authorities that most trailers are recovered when it is spotted at an event. I do not attend any events anymore, therefore, i do not have the opportunity to look for my trailer. Please help me find my trailer!
The trailer was stolen in Texas but it could be in ANY state by now.
Thank you all for your help!

| Chances are they sold either for scrape metal or they sold it way under price and it was a cash transaction.. I have been through this.

| When the trailer was taken my first thought was it would go to a scrap yard. All the scrap yards I spoke with said that it is highly unlikely that a trailer in that good condition would be cut up for scrap. The authorities also said it probably wouldn't go for scrap.
Our district representative for the Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association (theft division) said that most trailers are recovered when the trailers are seen at an event. I am hoping he is right!
I have sent flyers to all surrounding scrap yards, livestock auction houses, and craigslist.
Hopefully it will show up. |

| I am not that far from you and I keep an eye out for it all the time. Hwy 79 and hwy 59 are both close to my house. I drive on 59 everyday--twice a day. I do keep a lookout. You would be amazed what rolls up and down 59. By the way, I put a lock on my gooseneck because of your trailer. |

Location: Buffalo, TX | I would also keep a look out on Craigslist every day for months, and put your own ad on there too...short story to illustrate:
A couple years ago, a trailer trader friend of mine legally purchased a 16' CM stock trailer at the Jones auction, near OKC....he happened to be leaving that weekend, and his new place had no fence up yet, so he asked if he could leave it on our lot until Monday, and asked if I could put it on Craigslist for him. Sat. morning I get a call from the sheriff asking me if they could verify a possible stolen trailer (It was that CM stock trailer)....long story short, it was his stolen trailer and the owner never gave up checking Craigslist.....this trailer was stolen 6 MONTHS earlier and hidden out before coming to this area to be sold by a local guy (they broke up a huge fencing operation in our area through tracing the sale of this trailer)...the trailer was stolen in Pryor,OK, so he was checking more than his local area for the trailer...if he hadn't kept up the search, he would never have gotten his trailer back....Chad got his money back from the auction, and it was found out the guy who brought it to the auction was one of the area ring leaders (as a side note, he was a local ag teacher!!!)....moral...don't give up!!

Location: That part of Texas | I had a couple of minutes to kill while waiting on a phone call. I checked Amarillo (Texas Panhandle) Craigslist for you and didn't see anything (search went back to mid-January). Maybe everbody else on here can do the same for their area and let you know if they see anything. It only took about 5 minutes for me to search. I hope you find that trailer -- it's definitely a stand-out model.
ETA: Do you have the pictures and info on the trailer in a Facebook post/link? If you do, I don't mind posting it in our local groups to get more people possibly looking.

Location: Kentucky | You can also google "Search all of craigslist" and use one of those websites to search key words. It'll hit anything in the country that's posted on Craigslist. |
