Rule Number One: If it is on wheels and rolls, it is at risk of being stolen. Cars, Trucks, Trailers, Travel Trailers, Golf Carts, you name it. Since this was a weapon of war, he should have taken reasonable security measures.
It should have been locked in a metal storage building equipped with high intensity motion detector night lighting with an active alarm system. In addition, a secure eight foot fence topped with barbed wire around the perimeter of his property would have acted as a deterrent. Add in a trained K9 security dog as an additional deterrent and most thieves would go find easier targets.
But.........people always think it won't happen to them. Plus, they don't want to spend a DIME on any security measures.
Pay me now or pay me later.
