Many of us know at least some of whats in Ken's trailer...lets all keep our eyes open on different "for sale" sites.

Tuesday night-Wednesday morning a trailer full of FE boats and gear was stolen from a motel in Romulus, MI on the way to the MI Cup race this weekend. Probably most of you have at least heard of the victim. This is the race that Steve is off to this weekend.

Can we work strategically? I mean X number of people watch one place and the same with all the sites that sell boats? There are tons of us in here we should be able to hit this case hard.

i agree, and im willing to help if needed. that is just a sad day for FE racing.

[bob horowitz]

Please post a list of things that were stolen, so that we can all watch out for them.

[IRON-PAWW]

This sort of thing makes me damn angry.

Can anyone post up a picture of that trailer?

Although I'm sure the trailer was searched for, where I live stolen cars etc are often found close by when stolen from certain areas. Crims take them a short distance away and strip what they can in a hurry and leave them dumped in a block of flats etc. Residents in large flat complexes take time (weeks) to realise that car that appeared weeks ago hasn't moved. Just a thought.

Hope the pond scum who took it get their come-uppance.

Here are some pictures of the trailer.
My family is with me on this trip and still safe....
But pretty much everything I own in boats and
equipment has been lost with the theft of the trailer.
10 years of hard work all gone
Wish I could see a silver lining, but I am still trying
to recover emotionally.
Thanks for all the support I have received from my fellow
racers and the RC community....it means a lot.

Really sorry for your loss, i know how much work and $$$ you had into your mobile race setup. Will keep a lookout on CL around here.

Question, did you have pin locks on your hitch?

[HOTWATER]

Ken, very sorry to hear about this happening to you...it makes me sick when I hear of something like this!! I do work for a well known Trailer parts, sales and service company that sees lots of trailers from alot of different states and I passed this story along with pics to the owner to watch out for this trailer. Might be a shot in the dark, but you never know...

Ken.

Does your trailer have a visible serial number on it, or something else that could be used to identify it?

[zooma]

Ken,

A piece of your life just shattered. I feel so bad for you. Please hang in there. If never recovered, don't give up the hobby.

[JimClark]

Ken I emailed you but not sure I have a current one and also messaged you at facebook I will leave the message here also with my offer to you.

Very sorry to hear about your loss. I am up here in Seattle and I know you were planning on coming to the nats. I was planning on running also but just cant take the time off as I have used up all my sick leave and a lot of vacation helping my son who is currently battling cancer. I have a geico cat that has everything to run it ( I might add was set up by Darin Jordan) and a Spec Hydro that I restored also with a PB 1500 and three sets of batteries, a Hyperion duo charger and radio. That you could use to run in the Nats if you are interested. I can only come up to the races on Saturday so I will just take pictures on Saturday like I did in the 2007 nats where I met you.

Let me know if you might be interested.

[dasboata]

really sorry for your lose Ken , I hope they catch those bastards my heart goes out to you and your family. If I can help in any way LMK !

[ron Olson]

Ken, there may be a lead already! This guy is from Jackson. It's too bad that the Jackson County Jail is a nice place for a jail.

[Fluid]

Ron, that is the same photo Ken posted. Terry posted it on FB as an aid in finding the trailer, not boasting he had it....

Just spoke with Todd. Apparently the trailer was found abandoned, door locks still intact. It's on it's way to the Detroit impound yard.

[ray schrauwen]

Thanks for the update Doug. Glimmer of hope. Sorry about all your troubles Ken, hope it gets better soon.

[billf1973]

I found out from Howard Tucker, the trailer was empty....nothing left inside all is gone. Ken, I am sorry for your loss. Hopefully we as a community can help stop the sale of these stolen items.

[JimClark]

Man that is really hard to take

[billf1973]

Jim, Howard T. and Thomas S. both said the same thing on FB. They also went to race in MI. I know Howard is a friend of Kens. All we can do is keep our eyes open.

[JimClark]

We need to organize somehow so we get all bases covered. we need to monitor Craigs list, OSE, RC Groups, EBAY, INtl Waters what wlse do we need to watch?

[JimClark]

Would help if we were able to get pictures of each boat.

[liteumup69]

Ken, Sorry for your loss, This sucks, I HATE THIEF'S! I'f there's pictures of the boats and other items post them, I'm on the internet a lot and will gladly keep a eye open. Just a thought, I would check the pawn shop's out in that area, it's the quickest way to unload something. I had high hopes when they spotted your trailer.. sorry again

Watch elite rc boats on Facebook.
Setup search notices on eBay for used boats, motors, escs, etc.

Watch for short duration sales.

Think about last year, someone could have planned this for a year, lots of spectators.

I found a really great tool called 'Craigslist Tempest'. It searches ALL of craigslist, nation wide!
