Theft, of any kind is terrible. When it happens to the things we hold dear its worse. Unfortunately, with so many unemployed, it may only get worse. All we can do is try to be our brothers keepers. I hope this situation has a good ending for all concerned. Jeff Skidmore

Not trying to be a smart :moon: here just asking a question. How does an entire rig get stolen? How do they do it?

[Motormasher]

They are very easy to get into, they usually take the little glass window out in the passenger door and reach right in and open the door. Getting it started is not that difficult and then they just drive it off. They know what their doing.

I got one friend that just got his taken from him at gun point some where up east. He drives for Schnieder and truck was loaded with Wal-Mart goods.

Hope they find it. Spread the word so when someone tries to sell anything from that team they get caught!!

I will get plate number posted when I can. Scott

Just to be sure people are keeping thier eye out for the correct type of Truck and Trailer. Scott said it is a White (in color) Dually P/U Truck with a Goose Neck Trailer.
Not a White (as in brand of Semi tractor set up). Sounded like people were thinking it was a semi rig.

Hopefully it can be found and then we can have a public hangin of the horse thieves just prior to the feature at one of the events this spring!!!!

Part of the contents stolen where Shane Hollingsworths' Helmets and Uniforms. Who knows if it was someone around racing or just common crooks, but if these items are spotted being sold or worn by anyone else, they too have been stolen.

[sc96]

someone should put up a list of what parts and items were stolen because who ever took them will be looking to move them very quickly for quick cash. Tools are very easy to move the engine stuff will most likely show up around a street rod joint.Frame and rear end will end up at a scrap yard. These are the places to keep an eye on not race tracks so much. Most crooks have no idea what they have stolen until they open the trailer. Then they will have no idea what they have.

Another question, why is it that something that expensive is so easy to access? Universal keys, to me that seems crazy? Why are those rigs built that way?
