Based upon the unusual nature of these thefts, as well as the belief that they were stolen on, or about, the same day it is possible that the three events are connected.

If you currently have a camper trailer stored at a facility, away from your home, we suggest you respond to that facility to insure your trailer is not stolen. Please contact local law enforcement if your camper trailer is missing.  

The sheriff's department said iis strongly recommended that if you store your personal effects, vehicles, or camper trailers at a storage facility that you choose one that is equipped with surveillance cameras and coded entry. These security features will often deter offenders and/or aid investigators in identifying and apprehending suspects.
