Can't the kingpin release lever be padlocked for security against such buffoons who think this stuff is funny?
Padlocks can also be cut. It literally takes 2 seconds to glance at it before taking off. Also a tug test (releasing tractor breaks leaving trailer brakes set and trying to accelerate) would have shown driver something was wrong.
Ever see The Mothman Prophecies? This is the bridge. I swear those red glowing eyes weren’t there when I took the picture.

I'm parked at my receiver for the night, right next door to a good ol fashioned game of kickball at the local ball field in tiny Helena, OK.
There's a gazillion kids and tweeners running around, probably all the kids in town. Not a cell phone in sight.
Pure. Reminds me of a distant past.

I’m not even joking. Those seriously weren’t there, and I didn’t even notice them in the picture until I sent it to my wife.

The above is what I admire the most about you: your attitude.
I looked at where you were parked on the Google satellite view.
I would expect that every single terminal rat would describe your situation as parked on a nasty, dirt lot with a bunch of obnoxious kids across the street disturbing my sleep.
Not you. You embrace the moment and wax nostalgic.
A facility where trucking companies operate out of, or their "home base" if you will. A lot of major companies have multiple terminals around the country which usually consist of the main office building, a drop lot for trailers, and sometimes a repair shop and wash facilities.
