I just got a call from the Barstow Police Department that they found my car with the trailer still attached and locked shut. It sounds like all the big pieces are there and okay, except for damage to the ignition system. It was still in Barstow, off a road out in the desert a little ways, behind a building.
To give a little more information in response to some of your posts, the trailer was totally enclosed and locked shut, and the backplates were in my car but not visible without moving stuff around.
Now I don't know how much of a role the good wishes and prayers and concern of all of you my friends played, but the police officer said that I was extremely lucky - that victims of this sort of crime don't get their stuff back like I'm going to. The connection between your good energy on my behalf and this incredibly unlikely outcome may be more than coincidental.
So thank you all very much!
