God damn it. Just noticed this morning that our motorbike trailer was stolen. Dad and his mate Peter spent several weeks building this awesome trailer, and spent several thousand on materials alone. We had it about 20 metres down our driveway next to the garage, and it had a wheel clamp on it, a bolt lock and the rear gate was padlocked too.

It has a very high rear gate, covered with mesh steel that doubled as the ramp to get the bikes up. Had steel box section around the sides and timber filling in all the gaps so it could be used as a conventional trailer aswell, except for the front. The middle bike rail is extended further forward than the side ones. This is a one off trailer, and we would recognise it straight away. Damn it I'm angry. Being very restrained not to swear right now.

Bloody inorganic collections bring the thieves in packs. We were just organising having some front gates put on our place (in Pakuranga)

Will attach pictures as soon as I find them.

Since these pictures were taken, it had been galvanised (so nice and silvery) and timber filled in all the gaps including on the sides.

That sucks. I'm sure that something as unusual as this should show itself fairly quickly. Hope you get it back soon and the amoeba's get a red hot poker up their ****.

It's not the only 3 bike trailer that's been stolen, I just checked trademe, and I found this.

So be suspicious of any 3 bike trailer. Probably going to be used for stealing bikes I'd say.

Bugger, S@%T and other four letter words that don't appear in Walt Disney movies.

Will keep eyes open for trailers during travels for you.

Good luck with recovery.

Bloody thieving buggers.

I wish the law would lock them up and stop with the 'victimless crime' angle.

I'll keep my eyes open for you.
