    Assuming they were steel traps, I'd say between 350 to 500 each.

    He said they were lumbers and $840 to replace. 8 foot drops.

    Thieves should have their own spot in purgatory. Why the weak get away with stealing from the honest and strong is beyond me.

    Too bad he didn't have a compartment he could have put those tarps in.I imagine that happens a lot in flatbedding even by drivers from the same company plus everything else used to secure loads.

    Lifting those tarps takes muscle.
