After their trailer full of equipment was stolen, a Parkland father-son group that was well-known for their outings and volunteer work recently discovered it, but without its contents. According to Ben Johnson of the Pocomokes to TAPinto Parkland, the Pocomokes Tribe, a member of the Teton Nation organization, found their trailer, which contains gear for their bonding adventures, had disappeared from a Pompano Beach storage area where a former tribe chief had allowed them to park.
The tribe sought assistance on social media after learning of the trailer’s disappearance, and this action quickly resulted in a tip regarding its position in Sunrise, Florida. With the assistance of Sunrise Police, they were able to locate the trailer parked behind a house, Johnson told CBS News Miami.Before calling the police, the gang drove by to make sure it was theirs. According to CBS News Miami, the new owner, who had purchased the trailer on Facebook and registered it in his name, had unknowingly obtained stolen property and filled it with construction equipment. When police arrived, they secured the trailer and took fingerprints, but they discovered it to be glaringly empty.
Johnson told CBS News Miami that the man had no idea where the trailer came from. The homeowner, who thought he had made a legal purchase, then called the police and claimed the trailer had been stolen from him. “Charlie and I noticed that it was vacant when we glanced inside. The trailer was empty of their roughly $20,000 worth of camping supplies and kitchen utilities, Johnson recalled. “Just a few construction pieces from the guy who had taken ownership,” Johnson said.
In spite of the loss, the Pocomokes are unwavering in their resolve, considering asking their members for help in recovering their lost belongings and arranging to borrow gear from other chapters for their next journey to the Everglades. A GoFundMe page was created in the interim to replace the stolen goods. According to Johnson, who told TAPinto Parkland, the material loss is between $15,000 and $20,000.
