đź”’ Why Trailers Are the #1 Target for Thieves - And What You Can Do About It
When people think about vehicle theft, they picture stolen cars or motorcycles. But ask any officer, contractor, racer, or rancher - trailers are some of the easiest targets out there.
Why? Simple:
1. They’re fast and easy to steal.
Most trailers aren’t tracked, alarmed, or even locked properly. A thief with a pickup and 60 seconds of effort can disappear with your gear before you even know it’s gone.
2. The contents are valuable and untraceable.
Whether it’s $400k in racing equipment, a contractor’s livelihood in tools, or irreplaceable rodeo gear - what’s inside is usually worth more than the trailer itself. And most of it can’t be traced once it’s sold.
3. Police response is limited.
Unlike a stolen vehicle, trailers aren’t registered in a way that makes them easy to track. And when they’re taken from parking lots, job sites, or event centers - there’s often no surveillance, no leads, and no urgency.
So What Can You Do About It?
This is where we come in.
The G2 trailer alarm system from Trailer-Alarm.com was built for this exact problem. It’s not some off-the-shelf GPS unit or motion sensor. It’s a fully integrated system that helps you:
✅ Lock your trailer’s electric brakes if it moves without permission
âś… Get instant text and email alerts
âś… Track your trailer in real time
âś… Scare off thieves with loud siren options and flashing LEDs
Bonus: Self-Monitored and Mobile-Friendly
No long-term contracts. No call centers. You get alerted immediately - and you decide what to do. For trailers that move or travel constantly, this kind of control matters.
Final Word
If you use your trailer for work, racing, hauling, horses - or anything valuable - it’s not a matter of if, but when.
The G2 gives you a fighting chance. Most alarms react after something’s gone. Ours is designed to stop it in real time.
