In Stroud Township, Monroe County, a Chick-fil-A trailer disappeared right out of a parking lot. Security cameras were rolling, and the theft was caught on video. But by the time anyone pressed play, the trailer was long gone.

It’s a scenario we see too often : cameras record the crime, but they don’t stop it.

Cameras Show You What Happened Yesterday

The Chick-fil-A theft highlights the biggest weakness of traditional security: surveillance is reactive, not proactive. You might catch a blurry shot of a thief in a hoodie, or a license plate as they pull away, but rarely do these recordings lead to a fast recovery.

By the time footage is reviewed, the trailer could be stripped, resold, or simply gone without a trace.

Trailers: A Prime Target for Thieves

Food service trailers, construction trailers, work trailers, even personal RVs—all of them share the same vulnerability. They’re easy to hook up, move quickly, and often sit unattended in parking lots or driveways.

Thieves know it only takes minutes, and they can disappear with tens of thousands of dollars in property before anyone notices.

With AlerTrax installed, the Chick-fil-A trailer theft would have played out differently. The owner would’ve received an alert immediately, tracked the trailer in real time, and given police the information they needed to stop the thieves before they disappeared.

Don’t Just Watch It Happen. Stop It.

Security cameras are useful—but they’re not enough. If your business or family relies on trailers, you can’t afford to gamble on “after-the-fact” evidence.
