**Bike trailer** (cargo/child-carrier style, attachable to a bicycle) at $216 claimed value. Originally filed in the 2021 inventory as "bike" but corrected 2026-05-22 — the destroyed item was the towable trailer, not a bicycle itself. Stored in the equipment shed; destroyed in situ during the 29 July 2021 tree-fall. At $216, the trade class is the mid-tier single-child or basic cargo trailer (Schwinn Trailblazer / Allen Sports / similar) — not the premium Burley/Thule Chariot tier (those run $400-1,000). [TBD: brand / model from any pre-loss photo or receipt; check pa/equipment/ records and any Amazon order matching "bike trailer" / "trailer" pre-loss.]
