Not Sure
Private home everything was locked up real well (obviously not well enough) so they had to have cased it prior to doing the job in order to have the right tools.

That really sucks. I am worried about that when I am at work.

I don't what else a guy could. I guess an alarm on the trailer is the next thing although a little too late now. If your trailer is outdoors is as good as gone if they want it.

I always figured that the run of the mill sleds find their way into some sled porn video, where they are getting launched off cliffs or what have you. The ones that are as unique as yours will no doubt be parted out.

I always wonder who is going to buy these sleds or parts. The RX1 of Paul's is a compete 1 of type of sled. Somebody that gets it must really be into sledding to know what that sled is. Hope you get them back.

We got the truck and trailer back from impound yesterday and here is how they got the trailer. I had one of those bullet proof blah blah locks on the tongue of the trailer but the trailer tongue is height adjustable so they unbolted the tongue took it someplace and cut the lock off with some kind of heavy grinder or whatever then came back and reinstalled it broke into the truck smashed out the ignition backed it up to the trailer and Fawked off with the whole works. Clearly they are not crack heads looking for spare change.

Thing that I can't understand is why they would bother with sleds like this. I guess you could sell them whole but eventually if somebody is riding them they will get spotted. Virtually every part on the RX is powder coated a copper I had made custom so thats tough to hide. I have the engine numbers, there are no Impulse sleds out there for parts so.... I'm just hoping they see my reward adds and figure out it'd be easier to just take the cash than to deal with these sleds.

M5 I recognize those sleds but usually you with you riding the hell out of them. We were just riding together two weeks ago. Did our other good friend where you were staying lose any of his iron?

This Sucks I love that Nytro, I can imagine you feel like cracking skulls, I had a buddy with a custom banshee that was fairly unike kinda like your sleds, got stolen figured he would never see it agian, 2 years later it shows up at the lake he is camping at on the back of some guys truck, After a bit of an altercation and the police being involved he got his banshee back, and still has it, I really hope it works out better for you and you get them back real soon and not beat.

His truck was stolen along with my trailer but we got those both back less the tools and sleds. His truck probably has $1000.00 damage and my trailer is kinda screwed up but its the sleds that really hurt. I've decided the best way to insure I get them back is go and buy a new sled and then be stuck with 3.LOL

Nice looking sleds, probably someone that knew they were there it sounds like. Not that hard to pick out of a crowd, even if the parts somehow change colour. Will keep the eyes peeled.

If I find the sleds you can donate the reward $$$ to charity, just glad to help a fellow sledder out.

The bodies of the thieving bastards will be donated to the local morgue.

were the sleds inside an enclosed trailer? if they were then it doesnt sound like a random hit, someone knew they were in there. Also, you say it wasn't hooked up to your truck? or was it? reason I'm asking is just to figure out if I'm doing enough keep my stuff safe. I always keep it hooked up, locks on all the doors, chained to the truck and club the steering wheel.

Sorry to hear about your loss and will keep my eyes open. I have a large barrel bolt on my trailer door and the back has a high security padlock. I lock my pin like most, but also lock the trailer to the truck with additional cables and locks. Then I back it into a spot where it can't be moved out and secure the truck with a club and an electronic immobilizer system. Being a locksmith, I'd hate to have someone beat the measures I take to keep my ch!t. Cheaper than paying for a new one when the insurance company sends an insult cheque for replacement costs.

I have some pretty scoocum locks on my trailer but they just cut off the whole latch. Being a locksmith do you know anything about high security chains or some way to lock a sled onto a deck?

I think some of the less connected guys part them out in other provinces. Do some Kijiji checks out East and Craig's list in the US. Otherwise they may just joyride them and ditch them in the bush somewhere. Just a guess, but we've found a couple like that over the years.
