The trailer was parked where it always gets parked, against the curb in front of a corner property in Glen Rock, while the crew worked a backyard two houses down. The owner of the operation, a second-generation landscaper who took the business over from his father nine years ago, figures the whole thing took under three minutes. Whoever took it knew trailers, because the hitch worked alone, backing on, dropping the coupler, setting the pin, went quickly enough that nobody on the crew heard a thing, and the trailer left carrying two zero-turn mowers, a walk-behind, three trimmers, and a pair of backpack blowers. He put the loss at a little over 24000 dollars once the trailer itself was counted, and none of it has been seen since. It happened in the third week of April, with the season barely open and every machine already promised to a route, which made the calendar nearly as expensive as the equipment.
