It is weird how things turn out sometimes. I am very happy with the trailer now. The guy that messed it up just got arrested again last week. I hope they keep him for a long time because he does not know how to behave in public.

All is well now with the M747 and I am hauling with it on a regular basis.

More pictures of the repaired trailer. I thought the welder did a really good job. He triple walled the main beams on the new neck and drilled several holes in the plates where the neck was connected to add weld plugs. He also added a drop down kingpin frame that is designed to be removed when I...

The have a picture of the load he brought in, but police said they couldn't ID my stuff in the picture. I asked if I could go look at the picture and was told they will only show to police. He must have cut it up pretty good. It would be a waste of my time to do anything else at this point...

They figured out how he did it. He stole a gooseneck trailer from a building material company, backed it under the front of my trailer, used his cutting torch to cut and dropped it onto the gooseneck and hauled it to scrapyard. The weird thing is that I went to that scrapyard on Dec 28 and he...

The guy that messed up my trailer is in jail on several other charges. He was on trial this week on 2 charges and his girlfriend on 1. Never charged with mine, but looks like he may spend a few years in jail on the others, which included meth possession. It cost me $3000 to fix and lost...

I finally got my trailer back from the welding shop. It only took the guy 4 months to repair. I hope you guys like the new design. I will have some better pictures next week.

At this point, I am just letting the detective do his job. He said he would contact the scap yard in question to see if they have a record of his name. They are required by TN law to get ID on every transaction. I am sure the gooseneck is long gone by now because they take in truck loads every...

At this point I am just glad the guy is in jail. He will most likely be in for awhile because he got arrested for breaking into a car at Walmart, using a weapon in the commission of a crime, possession of schedule 2 drugs, two counts of bond surrender, and hold for other agency. They have...

UPDATE---The guy that ruined my trailer is in jail. He hasn't been charged for the trailer yet, but his girlfriend indentified the front of my trailer on his flatbed trailer. She asked him where he got that and he said don't worry about it. I know where he sold it for scrap and it was one of...

The state didn't do anything to the trailer because they were all off for christmas and they told me it was okay to use the property. As far as enemies, I have no known emenies in this area. Anyone know where an old M747 is sitting around for savage that I could buy the neck off of? The...

Someone pointed out today that the way the trailer was cut might indicate that the crooks may have a use for that gooseneck. I noticed both sides were cut off exactly at the same distance from the deck and at the same angle. Anyone have any thoughts about that.

Thanks for all the kind comments. I learned a long time ago not to stoop to the criminals level because that will make you just as bad. I am just going let the detective work the case and see what happens. I sent him a bunch of pictures of non-metal items that was taken along with the metal...

I didn't have insurance that would cover this loss. It would have been very hard for someone to steal the trailer because it would not hook up to a regular truck and would be hard to hide because it is so unique. I never thought in my wildest dreams that someone would be so bold to do...

It makes me sick that someone would be so mean to do this, but I was having a problem with the kingpin height being at 62 " and my fifthwheel height at 48". I was trying have an adapter made with another fifth wheel and a kingpin plate I bought from maddawg 308. It was due to be ready 3 weeks...

Don't you guys worry, I will find the ones that did this and they will pay for their actions. My CB handle is Reconman for a reason.

I searched the scrap yards within 30 miles for two days. I even offered to buy it back if they had it so they wouldn't lose any money, no luck. I did find a witness that saw a van next to my trailer with cutting torch and tanks out there on the afternoon of Dec. 23.

The people that I think did this own trucks and trailers and the equipment to cut metal. The owner's son just got out of jail a few weeks ago for stealing and is on drugs. I think they may have backed a van trailer up to it and cut it so it would fall right in the trailer. That would have...

My best guess is for scrap metal. They also got chains, binders, blocks and the lid to the storage compartment. I worked hard this summer to completely restore this trailer with new tires and wheels, paint, wiring and lights. I had it ready to go. Now I will have to get someone to build a...

This is what someone did to my trailer just before Christmas. They cut the whole front off with a cutting torch. I think I know who did it, just have to prove it.
