Stolen Pressure Washing Trailer in Broward

I decided to post this here because I will give $500 to whoever give me a valuable information in regards to my stolen trailer which will lead me to get my trailer back or get the thief/s who stole it. If this is a wrong place, please move the thread wherever suitable.

It was a small trailer about 4x8, single axle with 100gal tank, 5.5 GPM Hydrotek Hot water machine, 2 stackable reels for high and low pressure hoses, blue high pressure hose and another Titan chemical reel with 300' 1/2 braided hose, Fatboy pump in the middle and a 15gal chemical tank.

I will update more specifically the serials on the machine and other information.

At around 9:15pm Eastern time (10/4/2010), I found that my PW trailer had been stolen.
It was parked and locked in front of my shop bay at Pembroke Park Warehouse, in Pembroke Park, Florida.

As we all know, this equipment is rather custom and unique and can be noticed pretty easy. I am almost sure that the thiefs will either list it on Craig's list or sell it cheap to some pawn shop in the area.

Please look at the pictures below. I recently switched machines and I did not take picture after that, but it was the small trailer with the Hydrotek machine on it.

This is my second trailer that gets stolen from this location and I am moving out as soon as possible. I am mad, sick and tired of this location, city, county and state....

Very sorry man, best of luck catching the scumbags

That blows big time, hope you get your stuff back.

And 5 minutes alone with the scumbag :yeah:

Sorry to hear that man.... Best of luck to you.

I like the 'lid' over the hydrotek in the third picture

I am sorry for your loss ..I worry about mine all the time.

I hope you recover it by getting a call from the police that the guys that took it were in a wreck and were trapped inside the burning vehicle and were burned to death slowly as the fire truck showed up just in time to save your rig.

I don't like theives much.

Fox, I will be on the lookout up my way.

Sorry to hear about your loss. Nothing pisses my off more that someone that would steal another man's tools of his trade.

I'd suggest a GPS unit when you do recover it, or buy a replacement. I believe I paid around $250 for each GPS unit, all powered independently, and the provide my real time stats 24/7, so I know when and where my equipment is always.

The police get a daily report of what comes into pawn shops.
I'd stay in close contact with that.
I live in the Clearwater FL. area, I will keep an eye out when driving plus I look at Craigs list a lot.
Wish you the best in recovering you rig.

Whats the name of the GPS systems you use to track your equipment.

Thats stinks, some crack head. You check pawn shops yet?

Update:

My neighbors across my bay have coughed the thieves on camera. Two black or Hispanic males with rental Ford f-150 U-haul truck.

Unfortunately the quality does not show the tag plate or number on the truck.

Cop came later on and did not seem to care much ..

Any experience with private investigators? I don't know what to do...

Thanks guys!

Take that video to a wedding photographer that does videos. My one son used to do wedding videos. Absolutely amazing what they can clean up and clarify. Computers and programs to do that stuff is big bucks. But they allready have it. Worth a shot because the cops won't do anything unless you put the evidence in there hand.

Damn Miami! I just purchased my used rig and next day...stolen reel:shakehead: atleast i removed the hose the night before...


Good luck on catching those %$#!!!

Cops are a joke !! they could give a rats ass about your stuff. I have had crap stolen from me over the years and they never as much as called me to let me know that they have found nothing. But go 5 mph over the speed limit and they find u real quick scumbags!!!! Ok I'm Done !!

I have the video. Its in DAV format, but I can convert it to more common format. Should I make that video public?

Nick's right the donut squad won't do anything. Yes put the video up.

I'd also look up all the U-hauls rentals within a 10 mile radius and start talking to them.

I would post the video and check the U-Haul locations further out.

Chances are they rented from far away just in case there was video.

Hate to hear about your loss, that really sucks!

I hope you catch them.

After I converted it, it messed it up, but the raw file is much better quality.
The date on the video is a day ahead and an hour ahead.
