How long have you been driving to just find out thats its mostly other truckers that steal from trucks?
I’ve been driving long enough to know that it wasn’t always that way. But of course, that may have been before your time.
And long enough to not be in any way phased that you and renaultman seem to think it’s acceptable that truckers steal from others!
Your apparent lack of any sort of conscience about the situation says more about your own professionalism, or lack of it, than anything I could say.
Yeah right, because something has been going on since time immemorial and it doesnt suprise me i aint a proffesional !!! I’m a realist, i don’t think its acceptable but i do know it happens and i notice that you will now take care if you ever park at Lockerbie incase some one nicks your mud flap. Great stuff !!! Of course you are right and Lockerbie will now only be patronised by non proffesionals and thieves, the real pro’s like yourself will go nowhere near it just incase !!!
And i do have a concience and am gutted for him, i am quite attatched to my mudflaps and would hate anything to happen to them, i really can emphasise 
And if anyone wants to say hello to their hubcaps send me a message and i’ll pass it on !!!

It’s in no way acceptable maybe Mike C and I, although operating from opposite sides of the country, were unfortunate enough to work in areas where you couldn’t leave your lenses on your trailer if you dropped it or they wouldn’t be there when you returned. The term ‘fallen off a back of a lorry’ has been about for as long as I can remember and although I don’t for one second condone it. It’s always been there, unfortunately 
I remember it as always being like that too, leave your rubbolites or a set of single contact bulbs on a ferry trailer and they would have gone by the time you had wound the legs down.
On another thread there was a story of the tyres being swapped as the trailers were taken back to the port, it was more than a story and tyres were branded with company names and trailer numbers. Even the winding handle & bent bolt had to be kept in your cab 
If someone needed another coil of rope or a sheet, it was normal practice to grab one off a pile in the docks.
It would have been nice to leave your wallet on the dash, but I doubt you could
