Thursday, Dec. 8
} An individual reported that last evening when he was on his way home to Duncan, the left driver side wheel on his green 1968 UBILT utility trailer blew, so he pulled over on the side of the highway by Davis Road south.
He unhitched the trailer, which had two large slabs of wood in the trailer bed, and left it on the side of the road between 8 and 9 p.m. Dec. 7.
He drove back to Canadian Tire in Nanaimo to have the tire repaired, but Canadian Tire was unable to repair it. So he left and returned to where he had left his trailer and noted it was still there. Since it was pretty dark, he decided to come back in the morning and reattach the tire. Upon his return this morning at approximately 9:30 a.m., the trailer was gone.
