Judging by your avatar, looks like you already found it...

I hope it's found soon in great condition.

It is likely already on a ship headed to Europe or Asia. But, I will keep fingers crossed for you that it will be found intact somewhere in the US.

I saw this yesterday and was actually going to post it. Thanks for posting.
Feel bad for the guy. He tried and parked the trailer in front of a tree and the crooks cut the tree down. My wife wants to go down to the city and I’m like our Vette would be gone in no time.
I keep a Tile tracker(gps) in it now so I know it’s location.
Keep one of these hidden in the car
so sad you cannot have anything nice.

Well there is not a lot of crime in mchenry. So when i read stories like this I always believe it wasn't random. That somebody told somebody about it. How else would anyone know what was in the trailer.

The back of a yellow C3 at the end of a dead end street caught my eye today. Had to back up and drive over to see if it had that air cleaner. Unfortunately not the stolen one.
Definitely keeping an eye out for it.

These aren't actually GPS trackers - they use bluetooth, so it will only report location if somebody nearby has the app on their phone, with bluetooth enabled. Have you tried giving the device to somebody to carry around for a day (providing they did not have the app on their phone) to see how often it actually gives an accurate location?

Unfortunately if that 74 had one we would find its location for sure.

Really? The odds of someone being within 15' of a stolen car and having that app on their phone is that good?

My wife’s keys or whatever, I always find the stuff.

Sad to hear, stolen, stripped of parts is bad enough.
Then to be set on fire- wtf
