Another Stolen Teardrop 04/18/2016 UPDATE! 04/25

Postby S. Heisley » Mon Apr 18, 2016 6:50 pm

PLEASE HELP. As many of you know, my teardrop is more than just a get away to me, it is my home. As of June 1st I was to be living out of it full time. As happens with the world, I've been punched in the gut. I went out to get something this morning and it is gone. Simply vanished.

I don't know what to do right now, but if you can help me in ANY way, leads, look online, I don't know. Please do. It is a teal colored Little Guy Teardrop Trailers T@G. It's my baby. Please help.

*UPDATE: I am so so grateful for all the shares, but still feeling quite hopeless. Here are more details that might help:

LICENSE: B107695
VIN: 57HTT13S0FS001043
AUSTIN POLICE FILE #161090684
COLOR: White & Teal (teal is uncommon)
The plate is mounted to the door, not the plate holder
It has a Princess Craft logo/address on the back.
Stolen from Austin, TX - but may have made its way to other states by now.

So sorry to hear this. A teardrop is your blood and sweat and money and time and emotional and intellectual energy, as well as a home. How terrible.

Good to know what it looks like, in any event. Will keep an eye out in case it shows up in my neck of the woods.

Being in Texas, it is probably on its way to Mexico or else maybe it will become a drug den, if somebody doesn't see it and help stop the bad guys.
We have a lot of TX members; so, I'm hoping.... It hurts so very much to have ones dreams destroyed. :(

Someone's turning it into a mobile meth lab.

I have this thing about theives. I hope the person who stole the trailer got hurt somehow. I know it's not nice, and I try to be a nice guy, but thieves and bullies are fair game in my book.

Yes, she posted that it was found by police last night. Basically, because of the ongoing investigation, all she could say was that the condition of it was depressing.

Thanks, all, for watching for it. We have to help each other when we can.

Apparently it was found in pretty "rough" shape. Don't know what that means but hopefully she will be allowed to use some of the money from her "Go-Fund-Me" page to repair it. The GFM was started to help her replace her trailer after it was stolen.

Article regarding how her trailer was found. http://keyetv.com/news/local/stolen-trailer-from-viral-facebook-post-found-in-east-travis-co

I hope it won't be too hard to fix her back up good as new.

If it wasn't used as a meth lab, it would most likely be very salvageable. It may simply need good leaning, let's hope.
