My bet is these theifs are filling orders and I bet they are orders from overseas. Someone puts out a demand order and a price and these crooks go find it and steal it to fill the order. There are only so many SWC available. I hate this part of the hobby.

Ask yourself this question - who knew what was in the trailer? not some random person driving by your house

If it was the case, She would already own half of it in most states.

A few years back I went out and bought a Tracking device which is burred somewhere in my ride. It has a cell phone app and shows ..ign on alert/ Stop alert/after hour alert and also maps the Vette. Shows trips and up to the min location and more. But the best part of the device is that it has ..."SID" Starter Interrupt Device. It can be hooked up to shut the fuel off or any other thing you want to trigger from your cell phone.. I also have one in My Hummer H2.

The moment it is moved you get an motion alert. I know that this is after the fact but I'm really sorry it was taken from you. I might recommend this type of device to all my Brother and Sister C-2 owners. It's just like insurance. When you need it it will be there.

If you can as mentioned maybe you could post some pic's.
Perhaps share the company / product you use for others interested in doing the same. Thanks

It can’t be random. If you used a moving company I’d be looking there also. What a great way to find out what someone has. Good luck!

This is one of the few out of many that have interrupt device signal sent by Cell Phone. Plus there coming out with a new version (More Expensive) (With Blue tooth ....Tire pressure senser Monitor ...Door Sensor .... Humidity sensor at extra cost. Don't have all the particulars at this time. You are able to select what you want. The above is the new version .. But I find the older version suits me with out all the other gack.

I am checking with the company now and waiting for available info on the unit I have. I want to make sure that what I post on this company is up to date.
