Today Marvin talks with Mike Hendershot, owner of a seal coating business in Nashville, Tennessee, discussing the theft and recovery of his 24-foot enclosed equipment trailer.

Hendershot recounts the frustrating process of his trailer being stolen and the lack of timely response from the police department, prompting him to conduct his own investigation using social media and local contacts to track down his stolen property and the perpetrators.

He details finding the trailer empty, eventually locating most of his equipment, and describes his confrontational but successful effort to recover the remaining items, ultimately leading to multiple arrests and the closure of several theft cases by the police—who credited him entirely for the detective work.

The conversation also highlights the challenges of insuring construction equipment against theft and the general low priority of such crimes for law enforcement.
