The CT had a Hyland hitch which was padlocked. Clearly there is a need for more advanced security such as a wheel clamp device as padlocks are easily bettered by a large bolt cutter.
The Police did not even attend the scene just did the report and gave our friends the report number for the insurance claim.
The neighbours saw someone at the trailer earlier and thought it was the owners but it seems it was the crooks checking out their soon to be new acquisition!!!
