I hope to read more about or be shown links as to how to disable my truck and trailer. Is there not a GOOD tool that wedges and locks beween the trailer tires........also that long bar fastened to trailer wheel looks OK (???)

Was it parked in the grass near the Expo? If so, I think I walked by it last night around 10:45 to 11pm.

Darren,
I am just the messenger on this. It was parked by grassy area. They just told me that the call to 911 was at 11:10pm. You must have walked by just before it happened. When I talked to Todd/Tony earlier they were pretty upset and they thought it was 10:30

It is unfortunate but if these cars are not found very soon they will probably be stripped. There is a lot more money to be made when these low-life scum sucking bottom feeders part a complete car out.

Then I am pretty sure I saw the rig. When I was walking to my car there was a kid walking a dog in the grass. Then when I got to my car and got in I saw a car pull into the grass (a Buick I think?). They pulled right next to me and parked in back of me. I had my windows open cause I couldn't see where I was going. When I drove by the car I saw two guys get out. I heard one of them say, "what time is it?" And I drove off. That was the extent of the activity I noticed. Not sure if it has anything to do with the crime at all? I hope they get them.
