Crime investigators in Madison County, Illinois, fear an unsuspecting RV buyer could end up getting ripped off. Three camper trailers were recently stolen in the area and police fear the thieves will try to sell them to unsuspecting buyers on a website such as Craigslist. The three camper trailers were stolen either late on the night of November 19th or early in the morning of November 20th, according to the Office of the Madison County Sheriff.

• The third trailer is a brown 32-foot Jayco travel trailer with a mountain scene painted on the front of it. Illinois registration number is 650 603. The value is estimated at $25,000.
