The thieves just used a torch to cut the tongue of the trailer off, and a pallet jack or something to move the trailer enough to tack weld on a new tongue and get down the road far enough to weld it better. They stole all the equipment and tools, and left the trailer with no wheels in a field.

My friend fixed up the trailer and reinforced the tongue area with harder to cut materials.

The pros can steal anything if they really want it, shy of have several armed guards on duty all the time.
Wow. I was going to post that no one is going to steal my boat because it has a removable tongue on the trailer (slip in type) But if they bring a welder and a new tongue .....
