Default Stolen Bushtec Roadstar

Had my Bushtec Roadstar Cargo Trailer stolen from the parking garage at the Stratosphere in Las Vegas on Sunday, April 12, 2015. I am a disabled person riding a Harley Tri-Glide. Here are the best photos I have. It is California Licensed and does have a VIN number.

PLEASE PLEASE, if you stole it, or know who did, or if you see this trailer, PLEASE call the Las Vegas Police and email me at bushtec@twc.com. Upon recovery and condition, I will pay you a CASH reward, Trailer means allot to me. It did have some tools and a few other items inside.

Thank you,
B

I think the OP had something like this attached to the back of his Trike. Should be plenty of video in and around the Stratosphere. LV unfortunately is high crime, made even more so when a big event like the fight was in town.

Good Luck on retrieving your trailer.

It sure does seem that there are a number of postings regarding stolen parts ( especially saddlebags ) in and around the Las Vegas area. You'd think that most facilities ( in Vegas ) had security cameras and personnel that could/would deter this, unless they were "part of the problem" ???

Sorry for your loss.

So that others may learn yo avoid this. Can you share if it was secured to the bike, or just sitting in the parking lot?

I'm guessing it was hitched to the Trike and pulled face in in a casino parking garage diagonal space. Might make sense to back a Trike and trailer into a diagonal space so the trailer is not accessible to thieves. Since the OP is a DP, it was most likely in a handicap space near a casino entrance with plenty of video.
I'll keep my eyes open here in Reno.

I was thinking the same thing. Seems LV has a sheet-load of crime and certainly some inside help based on the stories told here about thefts in "secure" hotel parking areas.

I don't think I want to go to Vegas anymore either. Seems they could care less about stolen property.

LV is crime ridden because it is ground central for vice. Prostitution, gambling, drinking and partying are accepted and legal activities. Acting drunk and stupid is encouraged. Naïve tourists bring cash and leave valuables in their rental cars. Thieves check in for a week or two and then return to neighboring states. Thieves blend in with crowds of people and the intense visual optics. Everyone is an outsider, hard to tell who is suspicious. Tough city, be careful.

Not one f*(+ will be given by the cops unless there's someone leaking from a few holes.

Sorry OP - that sucks. I hope you had insurance. You may want to cruise Craigslist for awhile. Even then, tread lightly if you find it.
