Re: Re: theft

I think you're on to something there...

A. BrUn's SVX was stolen last night, bringing the numbers to 3! The thieves MOVED a 2002 Acura out of the way and parked it to steal the SVX. The SVX was seen leaving with a passenger inside. If it was cars they wanted, wouldn't they each take one? Clearly they are only after the SVX.

B. SVX parts are not that valueable. You can get a whole car for $2-3k. The engine is probably the most valueable part followed only by the trans and windshield. Nothing else would bring you over $400-500

C. The boxer configuration is very popular in aircraft due to the size

D. Subaru makes boxer engines

Any EAA (Experimental Aircraft Assosciation) members here? If we could get the word out to EAA people we might have a chance.

Each SVX engine, transmission, and major body part is serial numbered and marked in several spots. We need to get those serial #s to the aircraft people and out here in the open so we can keep a look out for them. Hopefully they will help us.

Perhaps we can get the admin guys to make us a stolen vehicle VIN/description database?

I put the Theft Prevention info in my locker, straight from the FSM:
