This may be a little long, but it is so sick I can barely believe someone would do this...<br /><br />We arrived too late for a camping spot on Friday night and ended up spending the night in the overflow parking area. As dinner is grilling on the barbie, my buddy and I looked over the trailer discussing ways to lock the spin down latch for the hitch. Everything is in place, as it should be. The boat stays attached to the truck and me and my bride sleep on the boat. My friend parked next to me and sleeps in his Pathfinder.<br /><br />The next day we attempt to launch the boats, but the water level in the reservoir is just too low and his Pathfinder gets mired down in the mile of loose sand between the end of the ramp and the where the lake now is. No problem I tell him, we'll use my truck to pull his boat back to the ramp. As I prepare to detach my boat I discover that the hitch has been loosened and just sitting on the ball AND the emergency brake cable was detached. Oh, did I mention that my friend and my wife both had dreams involving people sneaking around with flashlights?<br /><br />I cannot believe that someone's idea of a joke is to tamper with a boat trailer. Imagine what could have happened if I was on the interstate on the way down from the Cascades mountain pass and the trailer became detached? The whole idea makes me sick.
