Well, that sucks. Best of luck in getting it all back in one piece, and may the miscreants that stole it rot in jail for a long time.

Sorry to here about this. Just wondering how they got everything. Was every loaded on a parked trailer so someone could just backup and go? There was a person in the center of my town that owned a plumbing business and he had his small compact backhoe on a trailer just parked behind his business and someone hookedup to it and drove away in the middle of the night. I dont think I would ever leave a loaded trailer parked so someone could just backup to it and drive away.

Hope you get everything back and the people responsible get caught.

No, the tractor was sitting next to the barn. The trailer was parked on the other side of the lot locked up with a hitch lock. They cut the back pasture fence, knocked down a gate, busted the lock on the trailer, and I'm assuming hot wired the tractor and loaded everything up. The only thing they didn't get was my 6' mower.

Out of curiousity, was everything visible from the road, or did someone have to know what was there?

You should be disabling an unattended tractor. Electrical/Fuel/breaks etc.

But it looks like these guys were professionals, so the best you could have
done was to slow them down. Next time remove the wheels from a trailer
and store them in another location. That way they would have to bring
their own trailer. Drive it with a stolen car, trailer etc. It would complicate
things for them. Risk/reward ratio would swing in your favor.

I hope you got insurance for it. Don't worry they will be caught.
Sooner or later. The problem is they will not get any jail time.

Each time I read a story like this reminds me of my buddy in college.

Had is car radio stollen a bunch of times, window in car broken most times, super frustrating.

Last time he put in a new radio he taped razor blades to the underside of the radio.

Sure enough, they brake in again, this time the radio was not stolen, but his carpet got stained all red.

I've had a car stolen, worste feeling ever.

Sorry this happened to you, good luck getting your equipment back.

Joel

Tractor theft is treated as misdemeanor in most jurisdictions.
In Canada, they would do squat. But this was Texas, so maybe they'll
get a bit more.
