Its a constant worry, I've been considering a GPS/GSM trailer tracker unit for my trailer, something I can set up a geofence so that if it's moved, I know immediately . . . for a few hundred quid it's worth it if you have a valuable trailer, never mind the contents.

Thanks Fergus - I think i'll need to put one on its replacement.

The Lotus signs have been on there for years, and the AMP3 badges also, so should not be too hard to spot.

Just waiting to borrow one this morning. Massive thanks to Martin @ Willowbrae coachworks for helping me out :thumbsup

Best of luck in retrieval.

Did you leave it with the wheel clamp on it?

Pity about the camera angle coverage of the front of the trailer. See that there was a tart with them.

Would loved to have been sitting at the window with my high powered .22 air rifle and scope whilst they were at it, ideal for picking off small body parts.

Fourtrak's are fairly rare now especially with that kind of Navy/silver colour scheme.
Hopefully if spotted it should be easy to trace.

And black wheels.

I would think all the graphics were off the trailer fairly quickly, but would like have left a shiney (less weathered) imprint behind, so peeps should have their eyes peeled for any race pods.

I know, what a stupid thing to do - steal a race pod. People should keep their eyes peeled on for sale sites.

Do they have unique numbers to each?

I'l bet they thought there was something in it.

It took them ages as well! Did that car drive away then come back as if they went to pick something up? Maybe they are local. It looks like they knew it was there and went deliberately to take it, so it wasn't an opportunistic theft....

Where in Edinburgh was it stolen from Andy? I have had a few folk asking.

Pikey b@stards. So frustrating seeing something like that on camera when there is nothing you can do but watch it :twisted:

It was stolen from Chesser just along from the corn exchange.

May karma strike these people quickly and severely
