Retrieving a Trailer from Theft using a GPS Tracker

John Jones works at Ark Window Tinting Solutions and is one of our customers.

Back in April 2020, he ordered a couple of Solid GPS trackers to install into his trailers.

On the 24th of September in 2020 at around 5 AM, one of his trailers was stolen.

Here’s his story of how he got it back in under 6 hours.

Let me tell you, I am so happy and satisfied with Solid GPS.

I bought two GPS trackers and had them installed on my trailers. My trailers are used for signage left on the side of the highway in remote towns.

A Stolen Trailer

On Thursday, the 24th of September 2020, I was on my way to the office and noticed my trailer wasn’t where I had left it.

But it was there the night before.

I wasn’t angry or sad but excited.

“Hell yeah, my trailer had been stolen. Let the fun begin.” 

My poor trailer had been moved to a location roughly 50 km away. 

As I live in Tasmania, if you head 50 km in any direction, you end up in the forest, deep scrub, or farmland.

Stolen Trailer Found In A Deep Scrub In Tasmania

Luckily for me, I got the deep scrub option.

The thieves parked my trailer at the back of someone’s 100-acre property hidden down by some hills 400 metres from the road.

I had my trailer recovered by 10:30 AM, the police arrived at 10:45 AM.

This is great and all and I’m stoked I got my trailer back.

A bit disappointed that I have to replace all my signage.

The thief ripped off all the signage in an attempt to hide it, worth about $1,500.

But the best part of all this is, I got to see the look on the scumbag’s face as I was driving out of the property with my trailer.

The look of absolute shock and confusion on his face was priceless.

Recovered Stolen Trailer

Unfortunately, we have to blur his face or we might get sued.

I knew he was racking his brain, trying to come up with reasons for how I recovered my trailer.

I had the most satisfying grin I have ever had in my life.

So, to the guys at Solid GPS, thank you so much for helping me find my trailer.

And for being available to give some extra advice when I really needed it.

I’m glad we took out the investment to get the trackers. It was such a fun adventurous day and I couldn’t have had it without you guys.

Regards,

John, Ark Window Tinting Solutions.
