I paid a local marina a fee to allow me to park my race car trailer where they also rent spaces for people to keep their boat trailers. On the way home from work, I dropped by to get some parts out of my storage box and the trailer was gone.

No one with any authority was there so I left my name and number and plan to follow up with a phone call tomorrow morning.

Just how SOL am I? I am assuming that the people that rented me the spot will wash their hands of this.

This will break the bank. I can't cover this, a HANS, a helmut, a new seat plus all of the normal offseason stuff. People suck.

Just to clarify -

This marina is a business that includes dock spaces, land-based spaces, a garage (for boats), a big restaurant/bar right on the water. The spaces that they rent are the grassy area where the bar overflow parking ends up. There is no limit to access to this area. I had a lock on the hitch-ball latch and that was all I had for security. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/banghead.gif)

I signed a lil paper about the size of a dollar bill which was simply a receipt for paying a 6-month fee to park my trailer there; I also have the cancelled check. If I signed I waiver of responsibility, I don't remember doing it though I tend to "switch off" and sign those things without thought any more. I figure I'll start with the rental place, once they disappoint me then I'll call my insurance company (homeowners?) then after that just be depressed for a while once I find that I am screwed. That is my prediction on how things will go.

I did not have specific insurance for the trailer.

Let's see what happens today.

I'm sorry to here about this Keith, this really sucks.

Other then a wheel lock, which I don't think is any better then a hitch-ball latch, how is anyone to secure an open car trailer?
