    2 weeks. I would've called the police after 2 days and reported trailer stolen. What is in your contract,rate confirmation.
    If you don't have a signed contract limiting duration of their using your trailer, just my guess you have no claim.

    You did voluntarily drop off your trailer.

    The Bol I have know idea. Write your own up and submit for payment.
    Good luck.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they find a way to charge you for trailer storage for two weeks ... Day 3 you should've been pulling it out of yard loaded or empty
