Well guys just wanted to let you know that my pick up, closed trailer and all of my equipment was stolen last night including my week old turfmaster. So in a night thieves took everything ive built and reduced me to nothing. I found my truck an hour from home today though.right now Im at my dealer buying an exmark commercial 30 at the moment because noone has a turfmaster left in town.

Man, that really sux to hear that. I feel for you sir. It's bad enough to get ripped off, but to be ripped of your main source of income has got to be totally heart wrenching. I hope they catch the bastids and flay them slowly.

This sux I hope you find the scum that did this.
I can not even begin to know how you feel.
Keep I look out on Craigslist and call pawn shops

I know it sux to have to do it but you can get a small match box size GPS put on your mowers. I have them on my trucks and trailers.

(( racing is the only sport that you need two balls ))

I've told you how I lock my stuff up like a crazy person. I also use an engraver on all my engine blocks with name phone and address I write all my serial nums down the trailer is locked to the truck. And the truck has on star :) plus all my equipment is insured.

Sorry to hear man but hopefully you can afford to replace your stuff.

Sorry to here that, Man that really bites. My son in-law had the same thing happen to him. I've never had to worry to much about that because I keep my stuff in the garage at night and with three dogs here I'll know if anyone is messing around. I hope you had some type of insurance.

No insurance, im gonna try to pass atleast some of the equipment on the home insurance but i got an estimation at my dealer and everything in the trailer to replace new is $17,300 so they really hit me hard

Sory to hear about your stolen equipment, maybe they will be able to find part if not all of it in the near future. always looking on the bright side, if not maybe the smuck that took it will hurt himself with something that there not used to using.:thumbdown::mad::frown:

Its tough for me to insure because im only 16 and even though i pay taxes on my income im not fully registered so insurance companies wouldnt ensure that much value of equipment for me

If you have the homeownwers insurance it should pick up some of the loss, I know they did for my son in-law, then maybe you can get re-established with some type of equipment. You said you or they found the truck, did they get any prints off it?

Man, I don't blame you. I'm not too crazy with my stuff but I have my equipment information (serial numbers, model numbers, DOM, etc) written down on a word document on my computer. I also keep them locked in my shed every night. As for my Craftsman goes, if it's not gonna rain overnight, I just leave it parked outside by my floodlight. Otherwise it's in the shed locked up.

Wow sorry to hear that... I almost lost my mower and trailer last year... I had it on a trailer to go mow at my Dads house the following day, luckily I keep the mower locked to the trailer and the trailer locked to the truck. They tried to still the whole thing, truck and all. they did $1500 dmg but did not get the truck or trailer.

What did the police say, do they think there's any chance of getting anything back? or do they just think its lost.

Even at 17k? That's kinda grand larceny you have a local federal office? I would try to go over the city cops heads. Here in spokane we have a federal building where you can "try" to talk to someone :/
